A locomotive resting inside the depot at Biloxi, Mississippi, is the detail that sets this print apart from the many railroad views on the board. Biloxi was a Gulf Coast town whose fortunes were tied to fishing, seafood canning and the rail lines that carried those goods and visitors inland, so a station like this one functioned as a working link between the coast and the wider South. The photograph dates from roughly 1920 to 1940, a period when steam locomotives still dominated American freight and passenger service. Pictures like this one, catalogued as part of the Library of Congress's prints and photographs holdings, record how the depot and its engine shaped daily life in the town.
