Clearwater Subdivision

Purpose of use

It is believed that this reduced, low-resolution version depicting the St. Petersburg section of the Silver Meteor train is permissible Fair Use because:

  1. it portrays this historically significant named passenger train, which was operated by the Seaboard Railroad on what is now the CSX Clearwater Subdivision in the 1940s, when steam locomotives were still in use;
  2. as a greatly reduced, low-resolution version, this image is non-reproducible for commercial purposes.
  3. use of this low-resolution version does not diminish the value of the original media to the copyright holder nor interfere with the media's original purpose, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of this image in connection with the copyright-holder.
  4. it meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
Replaceable?

Not replaceable. It is a unique, non-reproducible historic event and no free alternatives are known to exist or can be created, as the locomotive has been scrapped and the Seaboard Railroad no longer exists as a corporate entity.
