Summary

The Louis A. Marre Rail Transportation Collection is an extensive, carefully organized collection consisting of photographic prints, film negatives and transparencies by numerous creators relating to the history of railroads and other rail transportation in America and other countries. Marre's collection is made up of both material he created and collections that he acquired from others including files from Montague L. Powell and R. Bruce Black. The images show a wide range of locomotives and other rolling stock, trolleys, and the structures and facilities associated with their operation. Well represented railways include Conrail, Grand Trunk Western, Union Pacific, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, and Midwestern and Northern Tier rail lines. The date span covered is 1938 to 2009 though the bulk of the images were made in the 1950s through 1980s. There is also a small number of copy photos of images made earlier.
