ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Taken c.1905, Syracuse, New York, United States
(Library of Congress)
"The Empire State Express was a passenger train running between New York City and Buffalo–a distance of 436 miles–in a blistering 7 hours and 6 minutes, with a top speed of 82 miles per hour."
– Jordan J. Lloyd
"The Empire State...you know she,
Rides on Eastern time.
The Empire State,
She rides on Eastern time,
She's the "rollingest" baby,
On the New York Central line."
– "Empire State Express" by Son House
This historical photograph has been meticulously researched and rendered into colour from a black and white original by a skilled artisan, continuing a craft tradition that has existed since photography began.
