Where most train pictures on this board center on locomotives or stations, this one turns to the track itself, stretching toward a low sun with a signal post and a tangle of overhead wires framing the scene. The pairing of signal and wire tells a story about how railroads had grown more complicated by the time such views were common: trains were no longer guided only by a whistle and a watchman, but by signals and, on electrified lines, by lines strung overhead. Sunset lends the rails a glow that makes the lines of steel and wire read almost like a drawing. It is a useful reminder that the railroad was as much a network of supporting systems as it was the engines that ran along it.
