The caption places this train, the Bay State Limited of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, passing through Guilford, Connecticut, at a stated speed of 60 miles per hour. Named expresses like this one carried passengers along the Shore Line between New York and Boston, and the coastal route through Guilford was a busy stretch of that corridor in the 1890s. The print is a photoprint copyrighted by H.S. Wedmore of Guilford, a local photographer, and the date of about 1893 and the speed come from a caption card rather than a verified source, so they are worth checking against other records.
