This lithograph print titled "How Mail Bags are picked up by Express Trains" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of railway transportation. The image showcases the intricate process of collecting mail bags from moving express trains, a vital task in ensuring efficient delivery. The artwork depicts a bustling scene at a train station, with an express train thundering past while workers skillfully retrieve mail bags using long poles equipped with hooks. The sense of motion and urgency is palpable as these dedicated individuals carry out their duties with precision and speed. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, capturing the essence of travel and transport during this era. From the steam billowing from the locomotive to the meticulous uniforms worn by railway employees, every element evokes nostalgia for a time when railroads were at their peak.
