Looking down on a dense grid of rowhouses and side streets pressed up against a deep railway cut, this aerial panorama shows how the rail corridor sliced through the city's residential blocks. Views like this were made from low-flying aircraft and were valued for documenting neighborhoods, traffic routes and the way rail lines shaped where people lived. Notice how the tracks run as a straight, nearly unbroken channel while the streets bend and stop at its edges, a visual record of a city built around its transportation arteries.
