Description

Photograph of a train engine and attached cars on railroad tracks, viewed from a front side angle. The tracks carve through a small valley, cliffs rising up on either side. "907" is visible on the front of the engine. Smoke billows up and back from the front chimney. Electrical poles line the tracks on the right, with trees on either side. Handwritten text below the image says, "T&P #907 with Train No. 7 west of Marshall, Texas 1935."
