This article from Classic Trains discusses the experiences of Wallace W. Abbey, who rode trains in the 1940s and 1950s and captured photographs of his journeys. Abbey traveled all over the United States by rail, always with a camera in hand. He took photos of the trains' exteriors and interiors, using various perspectives and capturing fleeting moments. Despite the limitations and challenges of photographing from a moving train, Abbey managed to create remarkable images that provide a glimpse into a bygone era of railroading. The photographs also serve as a reminder of the changes that have occurred in the railroad industry over time. [Extracted from the article] |
