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.

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.

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

Again, not Proviso and therefore in Chicago rather than Melrose Park.

The Library of Congress said:
iris.schimandle: Thanks for the correction! We've updated all 19 affected records in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html), and the information will be updated in Flickr soon, too. (4/25/08)
