  These pictures are great. I am really happy that the Library of Congress is doing this.

  Wonderful photo! Ditto, I am happy LC is doing this. I was 1 month old when this was taken, in Illinois to boot, and this scene brings back fond memories. The more railroad pictures you post, the better! Bravo and thank you.

• Niels Koopmans said:

  What a fantastic serie of beautiful photos. Fantastic that the Library of Congress is doing this. -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

• Thomas Hobbs said:

  This is a real treasure of the public domain. I think it is fantastic to make these available through Flickr, the best photo sharing site around. It is a shame they have not uploaded the full resolution images. The LOC's own site will often have 20MB scans of these photos. I've made some beautiful prints of New York's Penn Station from there.

• John Sayers said:

  Thomas, the link to the persistent URL in the description area will take you to a high-resolution version of the image. Good luck!

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called I Love Grain Elevators., and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

  Wow, so much history. Boxcars being used to haul grain. Rolling stock from (now) long gone railroads.
