A Freight Train Sitting on a High Trestle With Two Men Standing on the Roof of One of the Cars, 1895

Photograph of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad crossing a trestle in Arizona, ca. 1895. The large steam locomotive can be seen in the foreground at center and is towing several cars behind it. Two men stand on a boxcar close behind the engine of the train. The high trestle stretches for a long distance and is visible in several locations in the background. The hilly landscape is dotted with small trees.

  1. This is a vivid description of a historical photograph capturing the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad crossing a trestle in Arizona around 1895. The image paints a picture of a bustling scene with a large steam locomotive leading the way, pulling multiple cars behind it. The presence of two men standing on a boxcar adds a human element to the scene. The mention of the high trestle stretching into the distance and the hilly landscape with small trees provides a sense of the vast and rugged terrain the railroad traversed during that era.
