EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky showcases a "Compound" locomotive with a Schmidt super-heater, dating back to 1910. The steam engine is depicted chugging along the railroad between Perm' and Ekaterinburg in the Ural Mountain region of Russia.
Prokudin-Gorsky's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this image, capturing the essence of early 20th-century railway technology. The black and white color scheme adds a sense of nostalgia to the scene, transporting viewers back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the tracks.

This photograph serves as a valuable piece of heritage art, preserving a moment frozen in time for future generations to appreciate.
