Appears to be the New Haven Railroad's Middleboro, MA yard. View is looking NNE from the Route 28 overpass toward the Middleboro station (barely visible in the background in the top center of photo, to the left of the water tank) and toward Boston. Tracks on the far right head to Cape Cod. Tracks in the foreground head toward Taunton, MA.

Nice to be here

I agree with billreidy. I live right up the street from this location. I think I have a picture from the same location. I will try and find it and post if if I can. It would be nice to see the difference.

In the UK chains are dangled from gantries a few yards ahead of low bridges (over roads) to alert vans and trucks. The driver hears the chains rattling over the roof of the van (and ruining the paintjob). This is a nice picture.

is it necessary to label the photo "Negro boy" surly "boy" will do or if needed to make reference to his race for historical context surly African American. just like to point out that i am not PC mad just thought this title was a little odd. after all this guy is probably alive wonder what he would think to being called "Negro boy"
[kren] said:
I guess it must be the original title, or the agency caption as mentioned above. I don't see anything wrong in keeping that title, it reminds us of the mindset of some people in that time and it could even be an anti-racist statement.

I Like the photo but not the tittle.
styler* said:
yes but the title is part of the times the image was taken in
therefore the title itself has a historical context.

it might not be nice or acceptable context, but to change the title as given by the original photographer, changes history. Essentially whitewashing the past.
Emily said:
The titles are all drawn from the original descriptions of the photos - if you browse around on the Library of Congress's American Memory project you'll see a lot of outdated terms sometimes, but that's the way people talked back then. This is part of why they need help from people tagging pictures - we look for pictures using different words than the photographers or librarians back then would have used.
