I received this image in an auction win. Unfortunately I do not have any background information about the photo.
I am assuming the photo was taken around the late 1960s or early 70s.
In my opinion, the train looks like a road side attraction. If you look closely, you can see 3 children. One is just tall enough to see out the window. I actually noticed the waving hand before spotting the child.
What do you think?
Until next time…peace.

I admit, my knowledge of trains is minimal. I cleaned up this old negative to the best of my abilities. The negative was covered with a substance. I am assuming something was spilled on it at one time.
When I see old trains, I immediately think about train robbers, heists, and heading out to the West coast for a new life. I am pretty sure this train is from the 1940’s or 1950’s. The rest of the negatives and photos from this estate had those dates.
If anyone has any knowledge of trains, I would love to learn more.
Until next time…peace
