Night falls over a rail junction in this lithograph, where lamps and the glow of a locomotive would have guided crews through the dark. Currier and Ives, the New York firm that dominated American popular printmaking through much of the nineteenth century, made railroads one of its favorite subjects, issuing colored lithographs that reached homes at modest cost. Junctions like this one, where separate lines met, were busy hubs of commerce and travel, and scenes of them show how the railroad changed night life as well as the daytime landscape.
