Tin Bridge train wreck, Bangor, 1871



Item 31972 zoom Description

A stereo card of the Maine Central wreck of August 9, 1871, known as the Tin Bridge wreck. The wreck of the bridge highlighted the dangers faced by an influx of travelers taking advantage of cheap, fast transport. Trains were running faster, heavier, and more frequently over older bridges designed for lighter loads and not always kept in repair. The MCRR’s inquest points to the importance attached to safe railroads.

HARPER'S, May 1902, when the horse was still king!
Note ads for pre-auto Babcock and Elkhart carriages!



Review of Reviews, March 1903, with ads for Orient Buckboard
and National cars, and Iver Johnson Arms

 

HORSELESS AGE, May 18, 1904, including ads for now-rare Thomas,
National and Elmore automobiles, THANKS to Chuck Test!



Everybody's Magazine, December 1904, ad for the Premier
air-cooled

 

These two ads are keen because they fall right on the cusp of two
eras! 1904 was the last year for the Haynes-Apperson, as the
Apperson brothers had launched their own company in 1902.
Separately, the Haynes and Apperson makes lasted into the 1920s.


Horseless Age, May 18, 1904
