A station in Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania state capital, is the subject here, and the caption places it one hundred and five miles from Philadelphia along the railroad's line. The sepia print was made as advertising material for the Pennsylvania Railroad around 1874, when rail companies often used photographs of their stations and routes to promote travel. The record credits the copyright to W.P. Mange & Co. of Philadelphia, though the caption details are old and have not been fully verified. Views like this show how a major depot presented itself to passengers in the years after the Civil War.
