A locomotive, a track, or a railway scene is the subject here, and the record offers no further detail about the particular engine, line, or place. Railroads were central to American life from the mid-1800s, when steam locomotives linked eastern cities to the interior and the transcontinental line was completed in 1869. Pictures of trains from this era often show the machines as symbols of speed, industry, and national expansion. Looking closely at such scenes can reveal the crews, the stations, and the landscapes that railroads changed.
