 Crew Photo. In the glory days of railroading, it was common for individual railroaders and groups of railroaders to have their photos taken. For individuals, this was typically a posed studio portrait, complete with uniform. For groups of employees, this was usually an outdoor shot in front of a locomotive or railroad structure. Sometimes employees were shown with accompanying tools of the trade such as lanterns. Shown here is a wonderful photo from the tall-globe lantern era -- probably pre-World War 1. Note the great assortment of brakeman and inspector lanterns carried by almost everyone, including the little girl at lower left!. Photo by permission. Click on the image for a larger version.
