The record gives only a title, so I can say little about the specific locomotive or line. Its subject is a steam locomotive hauling passenger cars through dense green woodland, a scene that captures the railroad's reach into the countryside in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Steam trains opened remote forests and farmland to travelers and freight, and images like this one show how the rail line sat within the landscape rather than dominating it. Look at the trailing cars and the trees pressing close to the track to get a sense of how isolated such routes could feel.
