This glass negative shows travelers at a train station in New York, shown as setting out for Florida, and the record gives its date as 2/28/08. Winter trips south were common by the early 1900s, as northern families and seasonal visitors took rail lines to warmer resorts. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers. The title and date come from unverified notes on the negative or caption cards, so the exact station and the identity of the travelers are not certain.
