EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Chicago & North Western Railway station in Elmhurst, Illinois, between 1880 and 1899. The image captures the essence of the late 19th century with its intricate architectural details and the bustling activity at the station. The railway line stretches out into the distance, with trains and passengers coming and going, making this an essential hub of transportation. The station building, adorned with ornate Victorian-era design, stands proudly with its tall, arched windows and intricate brickwork. A dais, or raised platform, is visible in front of the station, where passengers would have waited for their trains. The railway tracks, lined with gravel, lead off into the distance, disappearing into the horizon. The scene is completed by the surrounding countryside, with trees and foliage adding a touch of natural beauty to the industrial setting. The photograph is a dry plate negative, a common photographic process of the time, and was likely taken by an unknown photographer for Detroit Publishing Company. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of this image. The Chicago & North Western Railway played a vital role in the development of the region, connecting communities and facilitating travel and commerce. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of innovation and progress.
