Coal cars and a stockpile of fuel at Loveland, Colorado, show how small towns along the Front Range relied on the railroad for heating and industry in the early twentieth century. Coal moved in bulk by rail, and yards like this one held reserves that could be drawn on for homes, businesses, and engines during cold months. The image comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded in 1899 that supplied news pictures to newspapers and magazines. The record does not give a date, and its title comes from unverified caption data, so the exact day and purpose remain uncertain.
