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.

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

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!

I love this photo with the snow and homestead in the distance. Very nice photos its amazing theses colors are so vibrant this long after the photo being taken.

Who's the poor kid who had to shovel that path?

West Bridgewater, Ma. Walnut St., running east-west, uphill to intersection with Manley St., running north-south. Dairy farm looks much the same today as at time of photo.

great

Pioneering times...

Could this photograph have been an inspiration for the Penguins in the film Madagascar?

To think how tough some people would find to do this now with modern clothes and photographic equipment.

Awesome photography.

brilliant photograph by one of our greatest!

Fantastic!
