Steam trains crossing hill country at sunset were a common sight in New Hampshire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when railroads linked mill towns, granite quarries and summer resorts across the state's interior. The low evening light typically catches the smoke and steam plume and throws long shadows across the rails, which made these scenes popular with photographers working in the era. Trains like this one carried freight, passengers and mail through valleys that the automobile had not yet reached in large numbers, so the image also records a working landscape in transition.
