The 'original unknown' photo of a train passing a drive-in movie theater is 'Hot Shot Eastbound' by O. Winston Link. See http://www.soulcatcherstudio.com/exhibitions/favorites/link_hs.html
There is a O. Winston Link Museum in Roanoke, VA. I have not been able to visit it yet, but plan on it soon. http://www.linkmuseum.org/
