Choo Choo! It’s #ThrowbackThursday!
This week’s highlight is a 9 X 7 inch brown-tone photograph of engine #1965 locomotive with two unidentified men standing in front of it. Photograph taken by “Radcliffe” in 1924.
This image is owned by the High Plains Historical Society and Museum and published by the McCook Public Library. They worked in partnership to digitize photographic images from the historical society’s collection. These images document early growth of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad in McCook, Nebraska, and the surrounding area. The collection spans a time period from the early 1880s through the 1960s.
See this collection and many more on the Nebraska Memories archive!
