Summary

Photo date unknown. The development of photography came along around the same time as the growth of the railroads. It didn't take long for railroads to begin using this tool to document changes to their systems and record everyday moments. Film may have been rather expensive in those days and is probably why we see so many workers pose for one photo together. In this way, one image could inexpensively capture an entire shop crew or yard crew.

This image dataset is generated from our world's largest public domain image database. Made in two steps (manual, and image recognition), it comprises of more than 35,000 images of all types and sizes - an astonishing number if keep in mind that the total number of steam locomotives ever built was just one order of magnitude larger. All images are in the public domain, so there is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial. Please contact us if you need a dataset like this, we may already have it, or, we can make one for you, often in 24 hours or less.
