EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by William H. Jackson between 1900 and 1910, transports us back in time to the rural community of Grosse Ile, Michigan. Located in Wayne County, along the Detroit River, the quaint railway station stands as a testament to the region's rich history and the importance of transportation during the early 20th century. The end of the railway line is marked by the station, with the train tracks stretching out into the distance, disappearing into the horizon. The rustic building, with its peeling paint and weathered wood, exudes a sense of nostalgia and the passing of time. The Detroit River, a significant geographical feature, can be seen in the background, adding to the serene beauty of the scene. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative using an 8 x 10 inch glass, showcases Jackson's exceptional skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of rural life during this era. The image, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the role that railways played in connecting communities and facilitating travel across the country. The proverbial 'end of the line' at this railway station on Grosse Ile, Michigan, is a poignant reminder of the past and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
