EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of George Francis Train, taken between 1855 and 1865. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this portrait. Train was a prominent American entrepreneur who played a significant role in shaping transportation history during the 19th century. Known for his impressive achievements, Train organized a clipper ship line that sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco and was involved in the formation of the Union Pacific Railroad. He also contributed to the construction of the eastern portion of the Transcontinental Railroad, leaving an indelible mark on railway development in America. Sporting a distinguished beard and goatee, Train exudes confidence and determination in this still image. His facial hair adds to his commanding presence as he gazes directly at the camera with piercing eyes. The photograph is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed at the Library of Congress. It offers us a glimpse into Train's life during this pivotal period when he made significant contributions to both American railways and international transport systems. As we contemplate this intriguing portrait, we are reminded not only of George Francis Train's remarkable accomplishments but also how one individual can shape history through their entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering dedication.
