. This mesmerizing print takes us back to the early 1910s, immersing us in a bygone era. The image showcases a train gracefully crossing the bridge over the Sil river, as it passes through the enchanting town of Ponferrada in Spain. This vintage postcard, now part of a private collection, offers a captivating glimpse into history. The photograph exudes an air of tranquility and nostalgia. The horizontal composition beautifully frames both the majestic train and its reflection on the calm waters below. One cannot help but marvel at how this simple moment frozen in time speaks volumes about transportation and progress during that period. While we are unable to credit any specific photographer due to unknown origins, Santiago Ortega's name is associated with this remarkable piece.
