EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Engine No. 600 of the Virginian Railway Company, proudly standing in Princeton, West Virginia, circa 1910. The image presents a glimpse into the rich history of American railroading during the 1910s. The men in overalls, with their hands on the engine, exude a sense of pride and accomplishment, as they maintain and prepare this magnificent locomotive for its next journey. Engine No. 600, a testament to engineering prowess, is surrounded by the lush greenery of the West Virginia landscape, with trees reaching out towards the rail track, creating a stunning contrast between man-made infrastructure and the natural world. The intricate details of the engine's design, from its large smokestack to the intricate machinery, are on full display, showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. The Virginian Railway Company, established in 1907, was a vital part of the transportation network in the eastern United States, connecting the coal fields of southern West Virginia with the ports of Hampton Roads, Virginia. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the daily operations of the railway and the lives of the men who worked on it. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the role that railroads played in shaping the American landscape and connecting communities across the country.
