Rau was commissioned to take more than 450 photographs on the routes of the Pennsylvania Railroad in order to promote travel on the railway to the general public. Using a mammoth view camera that made 18 x 22 inch glass negatives Rau produced a spectacular series of images for the Railroad' s promotional use.
