EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chicago Special, Burlington Route, Colorado" by William H. Jackson, transports us back in time to the early 1900s in the United States. The image, published by Detroit Publishing Company, captures a breathtaking scene of a steam locomotive making its way through the picturesque mountains of Colorado. The Burlington Route railroad, also known as the Burlington Quincy Railroad, is prominently featured in the photograph, with its iconic red, white, and blue livery adding a vibrant contrast to the natural beauty of the landscape. The mountain range in the background, with its snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, serves as a stunning backdrop to the train's journey. The steam train, billowing smoke from its stack, exudes an air of power and determination as it navigates the winding tracks through the rugged terrain. The photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of railroad travel in America during a time when it was a primary mode of transportation. William H. Jackson, a prolific photographer, captured this moment in time with exceptional skill and artistry, showcasing his mastery of the photochrom process. The resulting image is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of the American landscape and the role that railroads played in shaping the country's history. This photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a national treasure that preserves the heritage and history of the United States.
