Summary
editDescriptionFox Point railroad curve postcard.jpg |
English: Early divided back postcard of "the sharpest rail road curve in the world" on the east side of the Seekonk River in East Providence. The Providence, Warren and Bristol Railroad curved sharply to cross the East Junction Branch (background) and cross the river to the station at Fox Point, Providence. Behind the water tower, a short connecting track connected the East Junction Branch (and the Providence & Worcester Railroad's East Providence Branch) to the bridge. The opening of the Crook Point bridge and the East Side Railroad Tunnel in 1908 eliminated this sharp curve. |

Licensing
editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
