Titled simply "Engineers," this picture points to the men who ran America's locomotives, the crew at the controls rather than the trains themselves. In the steam era, the engineer set the speed, watched the signals, and carried major responsibility for the safety of the train, a role that earned real respect on the railroad. Photographers often posed such workers beside their engines, since railroads and the public saw them as symbols of national progress. The clothing, caps and tools visible in a picture like this offer useful clues about the everyday work of the trade.
