Good Morning:

I thought this was neat. A look back on our country. Railroad photos start in the 40s. One thing that I noticed when I find old photos, not a overweight person to be found.



Color slides found at the Library of Congress.

These pictures were taken from color slides found at the Library of Congress. They are dated between 1939-1943.

The pictures are so clear and the color is so vibrant, it looks as though they were taken just yesterday.
