EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the late 1890s, showcases a picturesque railroad bridge near Nelson, situated along the serene Rock River in Lee County, Illinois, United States of America. The image, captured using a dry plate or glass negative process, depicts the bridge as a vital transportation structure during the era of the Chicago and North Western Railway Company. The railway, a significant player in the country's railroad network, is reflected in the calm waters of the Rock River, adding an intriguing mirror-like effect to the scene. The bridge, with its robust iron framework, stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The photograph, created by an unknown artist, has been preserved in the collections of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of heritage art and historical records. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when railways played a pivotal role in connecting communities and shaping the American landscape. The tranquil setting, with the bridge's graceful arches and the gentle flow of the Rock River, exudes a timeless charm that continues to captivate viewers even today. This photograph, a relic from the 19th century, serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that surrounds us.
