Modeler's Moment - Another aspect of railroadiana

Sheet music: Hold Dat Train!

Need something else to liven up your railroadiana collection without spending an enormous amount of money? One modeler I know added sheet music with railroad related themes to his collecting activities. There's quite a lot out there, even some referencing specific railroads and trains. In this image of "Hold Dat Train!" a minstrel from around 1918 is running to catch L&N's Dixie Flyer as it leaves the station.

The image was downloaded from the Library of Congress's American Memory website. The image description page states that this work was originally published in 1919 in Atlanta, Georgia. My understanding of current US copyright law is that works published in the United States before 1924 are in the public domain. Additionally, the image available here is of a much smaller resolution than would be practical for a full size hardcopy so as not to dilute the copyright holder's use of the original image.
