steam train arrival in Venice


What better way to arrive in the world's most picturesque city?  The railway bridge was built in 1846, has a total length of 3.605 km, has 210 x 10 metre arches and a deck width of 9 metres.  At the end of it is the Venezia Santa Lucia terminal station.  At the time of this artwork the electric catenary had yet to be erected.
