For nearly seventy years, John J. Young Jr. photographed railroads.
With unparalleled scope and span, he documented the impact and
beauty of railways in American life from1936 to 2004. As a child
during the Great Depression, J. J. Young Jr. began to photograph
railroads in Wheeling, West Virginia. This book collects over one
hundred fifty of those images-some unpublished until
now-documenting the railroads of Wheeling and the surrounding area
from the 1930s until the 1960s. The photographs within this book
highlight the major railroads of Wheeling: the Baltimore &
Ohio, the Pennsylvania, the Wheeling & Lake Erie, the
Pittsburgh & West Virginia, the New York Central, and the
industrial and interurban rail lines that crisscrossed the region.
These images capture the routine activities of trains that carried
passengers and freight to and from the city and its industries, as
well as more unusual traffic, such as a circus-advertising car, the
General Motors Train of Tomorrow, and the 1947 American Freedom
Train.
