A freight train below the vineyard cliffs, 1937

A heavy steam locomotive rounds a curve below a steep rock face terraced with vineyards and hauls a long train of box and open wagons past the camera, catenary masts and signals beside the line. The railways along the Rhine carried some of the heaviest traffic in Europe, above all the coal and steel of the Ruhr.
