EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable feat of engineering from the early days of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Known as the "Ladder of Inclines over Boardtree Hill" this innovative system allowed two carriages at a time to be shunted up and over the hill, ensuring smooth transportation for a full train. The wooden structure stands tall against the backdrop of North America's vast landscape, showcasing both its strength and ingenuity. Before the construction of the Kingwood Tunnel through the Alleghany Mountains, this ladder of inclines served as a crucial link in connecting different parts of Maryland with other regions. It symbolizes an era when railroads were transforming transportation across America, opening new possibilities for trade and travel. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era, where steam engines chugged along tracks laid down amidst untamed wilderness. It serves as a testament to human determination and perseverance in conquering geographical barriers through civil engineering marvels. Preserved by Archive from Universal Images Group (UIG), this photograph not only captures an important moment in railway history but also showcases how far we have come in terms of technological advancements since then. It reminds us to appreciate our present-day infrastructure while acknowledging those who paved the way for progress on these very tracks.
