Shaughnessy-N-RUT-0078

A "Rutland train pulls across the Walloomsac River and pauses for a portrait." "The spectacular shot on the venerable Rutland Railroad was made as a series of brilliant flashes were fired at numerous locations on the bridge and on the river bank below. Shaughnessy conceived this photograph with the aid of seven men and $1800 worth of equipment. Four pictures were made simultaneously from different locations when 744,000 lumens were directed at the scene from the largest flash bulbs made." Walloomsac bridge is located in, Walloomsac, New York, circa 1950. See notes for additional information.
