The image captures a moment frozen in time from "The Romance of Modern Railways" an intriguing book by Thomas W. Corbin. Although the creator remains unknown, their work sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of railway operations. In this peculiar scene, we see a long-haired man standing outside a railway tunnel entrance. He is holding a brush attached to a pole, ready to tackle his daily task of cleaning the tunnels. Surrounding him are other men who appear equally dedicated to maintaining these vital transportation arteries. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and mystery to this portrait-like composition. It invites us to ponder not only the ingenuity behind such innovation but also highlights how science and literature intersected during this era.
