Summary
As copper mines in the Keweenaw flourished, railroads provided transportation for both mining companies and the surrounding communities. Controlling a steam locomotive was a large responsibility often split between the engineer and a fireman. While the fireman carried water and fuel for the boiler the engineer ran the locomotive. Both positions were highly skilled and specialized jobs. The close proximity of both the engineer and the fireman to the hot temperatures of the boiler and its tendency to spew cinders demanded a practical uniform. Early engineers had caps made from durable pillow ticking to keep ash and cinder out of their hair. These blue and white striped caps were popular and quickly became a part of the uniform. Railroad engineers around the country wore caps like these, creating an iconic image still recognized today.
This image dataset is generated from our world's largest public domain image database. Made in two steps (manual, and image recognition), it comprises of more than 35,000 images of all types and sizes - an astonishing number if keep in mind that the total number of steam locomotives ever built was just one order of magnitude larger. All images are in the public domain, so there is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial. Please contact us if you need a dataset like this, we may already have it, or, we can make one for you, often in 24 hours or less.
