20th Century Glory

Famous 20th Century designer, Henry Dreyfuss, brought his art deco streamlined concept and ideas to the New York Central Railroad. The result was the famous Dreyfuss Hudson locomotives that honor his name. They pulled the famous passenger trains called “The 20th Century Limited” on record-setting trips between Chicago and New York City. Here we see one of those crack passenger trains crossing a mighty lift bridge on its way to its destination. Bridge, approach track, water, and

atmosphere were modeled and set up just for this photograph.
