2016.8.15Description
A black and white photograph negative, depicting a train at the golden spike ceremony for the Wildcat Railroad on October 16, 1943. The train consists of the steam engine and the beginning of one passenger car. There are people standing behind the train, and a few children sitting in chairs with their backs to the camera in the foreground.
The photo was found inside of a manila envelope, but it is unclear if the writing on the envelope has anything to do with the photo.Photograph Details
