Listing details

Original vintage black-and-white railroad photograph featuring a small industrial steam locomotive hauling a train of low-side ore or tipple cars along a double-track line beside a wooded area.The horizontal composition captures the locomotive in three-quarter broadside view as it works along the line with a column of white exhaust drifting back over the string of loaded cars, the engineer visible standing in the cab doorway while bare trees and rough ground frame the right-of-way in a rural landscape.Rendered in a straightforward documentary style that emphasizes working industrial steam power and short-line freight operations, the image suits collections focused on Pennsylvania short-line railroads, industrial and quarry railways, ore trains, and mid-20th century American railroadiana photography.The piece is a small-format black-and-white gelatin-silver photographic print on glossy paper with a plain reverse carrying a gray-ink stamp reading 'Pennsylvania, Lackawanna & Reading R. R. Co. / Russell Baum, Brass Hat / Box 251 / Sunbury, Penna.' along with the stamped number '215' and a small letter 'B'; Actual Measurements: Photo

size 4 x 5 in, offered unmounted and unframed for album display, matting, or archival collection.
