EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable sight from the 1930s - a gigantic goods train consisting of fifty-four vans, all pulled by just one powerful engine. The scene unfolds on the Chicago and North West Railway, showcasing the impressive scale of American transportation during this era. The image is taken from "The Wonder Book of Railways" edited by Harry Golding, which offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of railways in both America and Britain. The photograph showcases not only the grandeur of this particular train but also highlights the engineering marvels that were common in railway infrastructure at that time. Set against a backdrop of an imposing viaduct bridge, this snapshot transports us to a different era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for those who appreciate vintage transportation and serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of modern-day transport systems. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, it's impossible not to be captivated by its sheer magnitude. This image encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an important chapter in American history - one where railroads played a vital role in connecting people and transporting goods across vast distances. This print is truly a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a timeless reminder of our ability to conquer great challenges through innovation and determination.
