In towns and cities large and small, the presence of a Railroad Street signified the important connection to the larger world made possible by the railroad. In words and photographs, Eric Williams contemplates the history still visible along Railroad Streets in more than two dozen communities across the country.

Ed,

Nice, as always!

The Railroad Street here in Rome, NY is fascinating. It has a dual-usage bridge, with one lane for trains and one lane for cars, and no guardrail or separation between the two. It's still in active use, with the Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern running their big Alcos over it to deliver coil cars to Worthington Industries.
