Impressive picture I stumbled upon:

SteelViaduct1902-b.jpg

Iowa circa 1902. "Chicago & North Western Railway -- steel viaduct over Des Moines River." 8x10 glass negative by William Henry Jackson

But this full size HUGE (3300x2504) version is what is really impressive !:

Today Shorpy had another interesting train image

TrainWreck1922-b.jpg

Laurel, Maryland. July 31, 1922. "Two B&O freights wrecked in head-on crash at Laurel switch." National Photo Company glass negative.

But this larger one is what is really impressive !:
