Charles T. Harvey's 1867 print is one of the few pieces in this group dated to the years just before the transcontinental railroad was completed in 1869. Its record does not describe the exact scene, so it is best read as a window onto the period, when American railroads were expanding quickly and depots had become busy centers of travel, freight, and local news. Lithographs and engravings from this era were often made to advertise lines or celebrate new routes, so the prints give a sense of how the railroad was pictured in the public mind. Look closely at the station buildings, tracks, and the people around them for clues to the everyday life of the time.
