    No, It can't be Maynooth. Look at all the massive buildings, not one of which is Maynooth castle!

    Where does be up on a hill? Mullingar? Cork?

    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.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called freightyards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    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.

    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. (?)
  • 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.

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