EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Freight Train, Coss County, Oregon, c. 1880" takes us back in time to the era of westward expansion in America. The image captures a moment of immense industrial progress as a powerful locomotive pulls a heavy load of fir logs across a raised railroad bridge. The landscape surrounding the train is one of raw beauty and untamed wilderness. Felled trees lie scattered around, evidence of the booming lumber industry that played a crucial role in shaping the American West. The vastness and grandeur of this scene remind us of the sheer magnitude of human ambition during this period. The composition skillfully highlights both the impressive machinery and its natural surroundings. The towering locomotive stands as an emblematic symbol of progress while also serving as a stark contrast against the rugged backdrop. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported to an era when railroads were lifelines connecting communities and facilitating economic growth across America's vast territories. It serves as a visual testament to our ancestors' determination to conquer new frontiers and build a nation from coast to coast. This remarkable print is part of Peter Newark American Pictures' private collection, showcasing their dedication to preserving important moments in American history through photography.
