The record title, Dalhart, most likely refers to the town of that name in the Texas Panhandle, though the catalog marks the title as unverified and taken from caption cards and negative labels. Dalhart developed in the early twentieth century along the railroad, when the Panhandle plains were being settled and towns grew around depots, grain elevators, and the cattle trade. The George Grantham Bain Collection comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers during the early decades of the twentieth century. Viewers should treat the specific subject as uncertain and read the picture as a glimpse of a working railroad town on the Texas plains.
