Train illustraions, 1878

Pen and ink illustration of a train at a station, 1878

    I don't know the first thing about trains. I couldn't tell you what the different cars are called or how they worked when these images were created. (Heck, or even how they work now!)

   But I'm still drawn to beautiful illustrations of train scenes. These were found in a "Specimens" book from the Cincinnati Type Foundry Co., published in 1878.

   Nope, I don't think I could pick a favorite among these three. How about you?
