This glass negative is titled "So. R.R. copy," which most likely refers to a Southern Railway subject, though the record notes that the title came from unverified data supplied by the National Photo Company. The negative is a copy, so it reproduces an earlier image rather than an original view. The National Photo Company, based in Washington, D.C., photographed a wide range of people, places, and transportation between about 1909 and 1940, and its glass plates often document rail travel of that era. Visible streaks and blemishes on the glass come from deterioration of the original coatings.
