This is a new soft cover book that features a wonderful selection of vintage railroad photographs from the Center’s collection.
There’s a nice mix of dramatic action views of locomotives and trains, sunset silhouettes and glint images, human interest, architecture and scenic panoramas.
While my photography isn’t represented, I am listed among the credits for helping with the book. I’ll admit my participation was fairly minimal, but some years ago I helped scan photographs from the Wallace W. Abbey, Perry Frank Johnson and Leo King collections.
Also, back in 2010, I helped with the driving on a road trip with John Gruber to Minneapolis to collect some of the Abbey collection.
It’s nice to get a mention, and I’ve enjoyed looking at the photographs. Thanks to Scott Lothes, Jack Holzhueter, and Jordan Radke for a job well done!
If you have any interest in railway photography, I think you’ll like this book, and you may be surprised by some of the images within! At $19.95 it’s a bargain. Buy two copies and share the joy.
