Low resolution?

Yes. This image is a greatly reduced, low-resolution version. As such, it is non-reproduceable for commercial purposes.

Purpose of use

It is believed that this low-resolution version solely to illustrate this unique historic event — the end of all rail service to Towson, Md. — conveys to the reader this event in context better than mere prose alone. As such, use of this image solely in the Wikipedia article about the Ma & Pa Railroad is permissible Fair Use because no free-use substitute is possible. 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, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.

Replaceable?

Not replaceable; the railroad's final train leaving Towson is a unique, one-time event which cannot be repeated. The rails and station no longer exist. The locomotive, number 82, does still exist and is preserved at Muddy Creek Forks, Pennsylvania. No free images are known to exist.
