Fair use

thumb|center|Southern Pacific train, engine number 2806, engine type 2-8-0 hauls Circus train, Foley & Burk. Photographed: San Luis Obispo, Cal., July 26, 1937.

This image (call number OP-15835) is from the collection of the photographs of Otto Perry (1894–1970) held at the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library (http://digital.denverlibrary.org/cdm/search/collection/p15330coll22), and is copyrighted.

It is believed that the use of these materials

for educational purposes, in articles relating to the subject of the photograph,
where the resolution used is insufficient for print use and thus does not materially harm the licensing of these images for publication, and
where no free alternative is available,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Additionally, permission may have been received to place this image on Wikipedia, but the terms of the permission would not include third party use. If this is the case, the permission will be noted below.

Use that does not fall under fair use may require the permission of the Denver Public Library.

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
This tag should only be used for Otto Perry images. Do not use it for images by others.
Template:Non-free use rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Still need a citation?

Does a statement like "flatcars in the US are even used to haul 737 bodies" need a citation if there is a picture already in wiki in several places showing a 737 sitting on a flatcar? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.141.84.124 (talk) 07:35, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Galleries

Per WP:GALLERY, a gallery should not be used to shoehorn more images into an article, and should not be used when there is space to show the images inline. I do not understand one editor's obsession with adding a gallery here when it goes against our image use policy. Please restore those images at the top of the article, inline.
