Aren't they , tho.

And a reminder that if we want our "modern" shots to be viewable for others in the future,we need to be sure we are taking care to archive.

It is too bad that there isn't a credit for each, perhaps the individual didn't know who to credit.

I liked the photos on this site but when I went to the train section it seems like the aspect ratio is backward, tall and skinny.
Is there a way to correct this on a home computer?

These photos are not digital, they are from negatives or glass plates.

In the early days there were no tilt and shift lens to correct perspective, so one got the best they could.

How cool would it be to find one (or more) of the big money bundles?
That is a great bunch of old pics.
