A steam locomotive pulls a short line of passenger coaches past a village, with the engine's smoke trailing back over the cars and the rooftops close beside the track. Scenes like this were common across the American and European countryside in the decades when steam was the main form of long-distance power, and the rail line often became the village's link to markets, mail and visiting relatives. Pictures of trains passing through small settlements like this one are useful today for seeing how closely the railroad and daily village life were tied together before highways and automobiles took over that role.
