Few details survive for this view of abandoned Grand Truck works on Eddy Street in Providence, and the title itself comes from caption cards that the Bain News Service wrote, which have not been independently verified. The record gives no date, so the scene's exact timing remains uncertain. The picture is a small glass negative from George Grantham Bain's agency, which supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Images like this one, showing idle railroad property in an older industrial district, document how rail infrastructure was left behind as lines and facilities changed hands.
