View of an Underpass Arch at Verst 15, 1900-1904. Creator: Unknown
View of an Underpass Arch at Verst 15, 1900-1904. In the second half of the 19th century, Russia underwent a period of extensive rail development that culminated in the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Akin to the great railroads to the Pacific in both the United States and Canada, Russia's transcontinental line was intended to supply and populate Siberia as well as deliver raw materials to the rapidly developing industries west of the Urals. This photograph is from an album of 56 photographs in the Collection of Documentary Materials on the History of the West-Siberian Railroad (1890s-1978) in the Novosibirsk Oblast State Archive. The album documents the construction of this part of the line, focusing on the engineers and workmen building tunnels and trestles along the route. The album was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. Iz fotoal'boma "Al'bom postroek i vidov krugobai?kal'skoi? zheleznoi? dorogi. 1900-1904 g.".

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the view of an underpass arch at Verst 15, taken between 1900-1904 during a period of extensive rail development in Russia. The construction of the Trans-Siberian Railroad was a monumental project that aimed to connect and supply Siberia while fueling industrial growth in western Russia. This photograph is part of a larger album documenting the history of the West-Siberian Railroad, showcasing the engineers and workmen who tirelessly built tunnels and trestles along the route.
The album, housed in the Novosibirsk Oblast State Archive, offers a glimpse into the challenging yet vital work that went into creating this crucial transportation link. Digitized for preservation and accessibility through projects like Meeting of Frontiers digital library, these images provide valuable insight into Russia's past.
The unknown creator behind this particular image has captured not just an architectural marvel but also a piece of history that speaks to human ingenuity and perseverance.
