Travel of any sort sounds refreshing after a year of quarantining. Perhaps that’s why “Romancing the Rails,” the latest exhibit to open at the Albany Institute of History & Art, seems so timely.
Through 20th-century photographs, locomotive models and paintings, “Romancing the Rails: Train Travel in the 1920s and 1930s” details the golden age of train travel in the U.S., focusing on the New York Central Railroad.
