About this postcard
Printed caption identifies the view as Washington Street, looking east across Salina Street in Syracuse, New York. The photograph shows a steam locomotive and tender moving along street-level tracks through a busy commercial district, with pedestrians in early-1900s dress and multi-story masonry buildings, including a large block with arched windows and awnings. The scene records the era when railroad trains still ran through downtown Syracuse at grade before the city's later track-elevation projects.
