EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of an Erie Railroad locomotive from the early 20th century. Taken around 1911-12 by photographer William Davis Hassler, this image showcases the head-on view of the steam-powered engine in all its glory. The locomotive stands tall and proud, emitting a sense of strength and determination. Its intricate details are highlighted, from the sturdy wheels to the intricate piping that runs along its body. This photograph is a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic skill. In front of this magnificent machine stands a man, presumably an engineer or worker associated with the railroad industry. His presence adds scale and context to the image, emphasizing just how massive these locomotives were in comparison to human beings. This snapshot transports us back in time to an era when railroads played a vital role in transportation across America. The Erie Railroad was one of many networks that connected people and goods throughout the United States during this period. As we gaze upon this historic artifact captured through photography, we can't help but appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich industrial heritage and how advancements in technology have shaped our world today.
