EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a dog train, or troikas as they were also known, making its way through the snowy landscape of North America around 1910. This historical photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past when horses were not the only animals used for transportation. Dog trains, consisting of a leader dog and two wheel dogs pulling a sleigh, were a common mode of transportation in the northern regions of North America before the widespread use of automobiles and trucks. The dogs, often Siberian Huskies or Alaskan Malamutes, were harnessed together with a complex system of ropes and harnesses, allowing them to work in unison and pull heavy loads through the snow. This photograph captures the raw power and determination of these working animals as they pull a sleigh laden with supplies through the winter landscape. The dogs' keen focus and the snowy surroundings create a sense of tranquility and isolation, transporting the viewer back to a simpler time. The use of dog trains was not limited to transportation in rural areas, but they were also used in mail delivery, exploration, and even for recreational activities such as sled dog racing. The tradition of using dogs for transportation continues to this day, with modern sled dog races like the Iditarod and the Yukon Quest attracting thousands of spectators each year. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of both the animals and the people who relied on them for survival in the harsh winter conditions of North America. It is a reminder of the rich history of working animals and the important role they played in shaping the history of transportation in North America.
