Train Project, View from Amtrak Northeast Regional, Train #147, 2010
- Scope and content:
-
These 31 11x14 inch black-and-white images were taken by photographer Jesse Pyrant Andrews on November 19, 2010 during a train trip from New York City to Lynchburg, Virginia. Chiefly taken from the windows of the moving train, the images capture overpasses, traffic, graffiti, residential neighborhoods, train stations, and other urban landscapes. A few shots focus on train passengers and there is one of a railroad worker on the tracks, as well as the photographer's self-portrait.
Many of these images were digitized and are featured on the Duke Digital Collections website.
- Processing information:
-
Prints are arranged in order as received and are untitled; descriptions in brackets have been supplied by library staff. All of the photographs were printed in a traditional darkroom in 2011 and 2012. Original negative identifiers assigned by the photographer have been retained; each print also has been given an institutional identifier.
