EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Reno Station on the Central Pacific Railway, circa 1870. The image, originally an engraving from American Pictures published by the Religious Tract Society in 1876, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the English School from the 19th century. In this snapshot of history, we witness a scene filled with activity and progress. The railway track stretches far into the distance, symbolizing connectivity and expansion. A train stands proudly at the station, a testament to human ingenuity and determination. Surrounding this hub of transportation are various elements that paint a vivid picture of life during that era. Horse-drawn carriages pass by as people go about their daily routines. A humble hut and barn stand nearby, serving as reminders of simpler times when manual labor was essential for construction projects like these. The logs scattered around hint at ongoing development efforts in this part of Nevada, USA – a region known for its vast landscapes and untamed wilderness. It is fascinating to imagine how this once remote area would eventually transform into a thriving cityscape. As we gaze upon this historical gem captured by Ken Welsh from his private collection, it serves as both a reminder of our past achievements and an inspiration for future endeavors in transportation innovation. Let us cherish such glimpses into our shared heritage while also looking forward to new horizons yet to be explored.
