Franklin D. Roosevelt stands at the rear of the Atlantic Coast Line Presidential Special, waving goodbye as the train leaves Washington, D.C., for Florida in 1934. The Atlantic Coast Line was one of the main rail routes linking the capital with the Florida peninsula, and its private cars carried presidents, officials and their guests on the long trip south. Roosevelt made Florida visits part of his travels, drawn in part by the warm winter weather and the fishing along its coasts. The picture shows a departure that was routine for a president yet still a public moment.
