About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

If that guy leaning out of the window on the left isn't Spencer Tracy, then I'm Katharine Hepburn.
Next Time Around

These soldiers look the same as soldiers coming home from World War II. That wouldn't be any big deal except they sure didn't look the same leaving. Those pictures belong more to the nineteenth century than twentieth.
Kid on our right looks all of eighteen at most. Fourth in is handsome, but sure has the 1000-yard stare.
I guess the guys still on the train have family at a later stop.

A great study of faces and expressions---some happy, some a little haunted--amazing detail, as usual.

Those windows are most likely stained glass. Check out this link about a similar car now at the Mid-Continent Railroad Museum.

They look more like textured glass rather than stained.
Windows

Look at those train windows! Could that be stained glass panels in the arched area? And note how the sashes slide up behind them. Neat detail!
