The 4-4-0 was so ubiquitous on American railroads between the 1850s and early 1900s that it was called the American type. By the early 1900s very few were being built, as larger types became more popular, but occasionally a few 4-4-0s were still built for passenger duse. The Toledo-Detroit aspired to be an electric interurban line linking Toledo with Ann Arbor but never electrified. It purchased this engine but in 1916 the Detroit Toledo \u0026amp; Ironton bought the T-D for its route into Toledo. Number 16 was used in passenger service in southeast Michigan until it was retired to the Henry Ford Museum, which traded it to IRM in 1984.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.irm.org\/player\/td16\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eMount has stains, couple corner chips.

He operated a photography studio in Glen Jean from about 1898 until the late 1920s, where he documented various lifestyles, including portraits of hunters, gamblers, and workers. Trevey's work is part of the William O. Trevey Glass Slide Collection, which offers insights into the daily lives of coal miners during the turn of the 20th century. His extensive photographic records are now available for public access, preserving a significant part of an era that now lives only in legend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chadbourne Antiques \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51326002561270,"sku":"CA-5895","price":245.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/7290\/files\/IMG_4688rszTXT.jpg?v=1784952861","url":"https:\/\/chadbourneantique.com\/products\/c-1910-usa-west-set-of-4-appalachia-photos-locomotive-coal-miners","provider":"Chadbourne Antiques \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
