Photograph of the Granby, Connecticut, railroad station, taken by Lewis Herbert Benton. Benton's traveling companion Irving Drake is on top of the railroad car. [This description contributed by Robert Joseph Belletzkie: This is the New Haven & Northampton Railroad's “Canal” line station in Granby, Connecticut, which dates to 1848 and is still extant and beautifully maintained today (as of 2017). Drake’s car is parked by the road and he, in one of his highest hijinx moments, is atop the boxcar manning the brake wheel. Several copies have actually had Drake painted out for this trespass but Benton knowingly took the shot and here it is restored as taken.]
