Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This is a photo taken of Lackawanna Railroad President William Truesdale in either Dec 1915 or Jan 1916 speaking from the rear of the Lackawanna Limited (train) in commemoration of the opening of the Clarks Summit - Hallstead (Pennsylvania) Cut-Off in Nov 1915. There are very few photos of President Truesdale that exist. This photo would be used in the w:Lackawanna Cut-Off article.
Date Either Dec 1915 or Jan 1916 (estimated from consecutive numbering scheme used by photographer)
Source Received from curator of the US National Park Service's Steamtown National Historic Site in Scranton, Pennsylvania (USA). Steamtown has possession of the Lackawanna's collection of more than 20,000 glass negatives (from which this was digitally scanned) and other photographs.
Author William B. Bunnell, Jr. (Lackawanna Railroad photographer)

Licensing

[edit]

According to w:Lackawanna Railroad President Perry Shoemaker, who was interviewed in 1992, the railroad never copyrighted any of its photographs, which were taken by company photographers between 1904-1934. Shoemaker, who was president of the railroad between 1953-1960, was present at the time when his predesessor, William White, donated the negatives to White's alma mater, w:Syracuse University, in 1951. Syracuse University retained the negatives for 60 years until the entire collection was donated to the US w:National Park Service's w:Steamtown National Historic Site in w:Scranton, Pennsylvania, where it currently resides.
