Working on the Railroad [1]

The first passenger train arrived in Charlotte in 1852. The second passenger depot was the Southern Railroad Depot [2] that was designed by Frank Milburn in the Spanish Mission style. It was built in 1905 and was located at 531 West Trade Street.  A railroad crew [3] posed for this photograph in front of their locomotive.
