For Visions exhibition, packed in Crate #8.
Railroad line was later the New York Central.
Note: Post 1848 because the tower is included, also the cowcatcher and bellstack are the type which date from the 1850's and early 1860's. A print of the same scene appeared in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, March 31, 1860, so it probably postdates 1860.Note Type
