    El 2 de junio de 1911 Madero inicia un largo viage desde Piedras Negras Coahuila, pasa por varias ciudades importantes como Torreón (dia 4), Zacatecas, etc. para llegar a la Ciudad de México el dia 7. Esta foto en Wikipedia dice que es llegada de Madero a Pachuca en 1910. En seguida hay otra con mayor acercamiento, en la cual Madero se ve usando un traje mas claro, y dice que es llegando a Pachuca en 1911. Hay algunas fotos de 1910 en esta colección cuyos Call nrs. son muy cercanos al de esta imagen.

    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.

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

    This photo matches with pichture 2374-11 of your collection. On top of it you can see with the same handwritting: "Cribbing bridge for American refugee train at Torreón". Both photos by code number, were taken some day on march 1911. "THE TORREON ENTERPISE" ( in its issue of Wed, March 8, 1911) was a newspaper published by de American Colony at Torreón and is translated into Spanish and quoted by Eduardo Guerra in his book Historia de Torreón (1932): "Los campos mineros de Velardeña y Asarco (American Smelting & Refining Co.) suspenderán sus trabajos el próximo primero de Mayo.... y ya han hecho los preparativos para desocupar a todo el personal de empleados americanos en la fecha indicada. Anticipandose a la ejecución de este proyecto, los jefes notificaron el último viernes (3 de marzo de 1911) a los empleados americanos que preparen el evío de sus familias en el término de 24 horas. Veinte señoras llegaron aquí (Torreón) el sábado en la noche (4 de marzo) en viaje rumbo a los Estados Unidos, muchas otras arribaron después, siendo imposible su continuación inmediata... Continúa informando "The Torreón Enterprise": Hay noticia que una partida de rebeldes, capitaneada por Reza (Epitacio Rea) ocupó Velardeña (photo 2125-9 (althoug by this call nr. the events seem to correspond to 1910) of your collection, is a panoramic view of ASARCO..." The iron parallels run south-north, north-sout occording to the shadows casting by the train. If so it must have been taken 4 or 5 miles north away Gómez Palacio (most of the rail roads surrounding Torreón run east-west, west-east). (Gómez Palacio, Durango [along with Lerdo] is northwest close to Torreón, Coahuila. These three cities are de heads of what is known as La Región Lagunera). Dr. Roberto Duarte Cirujano Plástico

    ¿En las colecciones de The Library of Congress, es posible que tengan arhivados, números (issues) del periódico THE TORREON ENTERPRISE? Este periódico impreso en inglés por Mr. Albert N. Swain desde el año 1900. Mr. Swain fué Cónsul Americano en Torreón puesto que ocupó Mr. George C. Carothers durante los años de la Revólución Mexicana. Es posible que por esto cualquiera de los dos hayan enviado ejemplares de este periódico al Department of State o alguna otra agencia gubernamental y por este conducto haya llegado hasta Ustedes. En caso positivo ¿sería posible obtener algunas copias? Atentamente Dr. Roberto Duarte
