Today’s #WorkerWednesday post features a ca. 1890 group photograph of a railroad construction crew for the Wilmington and Northern Railroad Company, seen here at work near New Bridge Station.
The Wilmington and Northern Railroad was a branch of the Reading Railroad system, and it ran between Wilmington, Delaware, and Reading, Pennsylvania. The workers who built the railroad made it possible for the various industrial plants located along Brandywine Creek to connect with other railroads leading to the west and to the anthracite coal regions of western Pennsylvania.
This photograph is part of the Hagley Library’s Pierre A. Gentieu Brandywine River Valley photographs (Accession 1970.001). Pierre A. Gentieu (1842-1930) was a long-time employee of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, and his photographs document the DuPont Company Powder Yards as well as the surrounding community.

Today I had to drop Brock off in Calgary, and saying goodbye had my heart breaking; half of the ride home was spent sobbing, I wasn't prepared for that.
This is only temporary, I couldn't be more proud of him, but it shook me to my core with just how visceral that goodbye went. It shook me to my god damn core.
Now I begin the countdown to the 26th.
