Joseph Pennell's etching and drypoint, titled *The trains that come, and the trains that go*, builds its scene around movement in both directions. Pennell was an American printmaker and illustrator who drew bridges, factories and railroad works with an engineer's precision, and he returned often to industrial subjects. Dated 1919, the plate comes from the years after the First World War, when railroads carried heavy loads of troops and freight. Its catalog reference follows Wuerth's listing of Pennell's prints.
