Golden Age of Trains in Black and White, By Keith Axline
Troy Union Railroad crossing guard John Moriarity and New York Central switch engine during snowstorm, Troy, New York, March 1955
Photo by Jim Shaughnessy. “This is in Troy. I went down with my father in his pickup truck, because I thought it would be interesting to take some pictures under those types of conditions,” Shaughnessy said. “This happens repeatedly, but most people aren’t out there to photograph it, because they’re in their warm house. This is a crossing guard at the rail station. With the flash off the camera it doesn’t blind you. With a light on the camera in a snowstorm, all you get is a bunch of lit flakes in front of you. In a storm like that, there’s also a lot of ambient light.”
