The title describes President Harding at the throttle of a government railway in Alaska, which points to the Alaska Railroad, built by the federal government between 1915 and 1923 and visited by Harding during his 1923 trip to the territory. The record's date of c1881 does not fit that story, since Harding did not take office until 1921, so the date or the title is probably wrong and should be checked before the card is cited. Its placement on the Charleston board also does not match the subject.
