THE H-8 ALLEGHENY
The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad's H-8 Allegheny locomotive number 1647 waits in the yard at Handley, West Virginia next to H-8 locomotive number 1650 in the late 1940's. The C&O Allegheny steam locomotives were the heaviest reciprocating steam locomotives ever built. This drawing was one of my more challenging projects to complete due to the mechanical complexity of the prototype subject. The print is 18" X 24" made from an original pencil drawing.

Boston and Maine class S-1b steam locomotive number 3020
Boston and Maine class S-1b steam locomotive number 3020 hauls symbol fright train UJ-2 from Berlin, N.H. to White River Junction, VT. through Jefferson Meadows, N.H. Two railfans watch on the right as the 2-10-2 type locomotive passes them and the water tower in the 1940's. I used some artist license with this scene in that the B&M railroad never operated the S-1b's over this route. S-1c's of the same wheel arrangement were used however, and were numbered in the 2900 series. the rails were torn up in 1996, and the water tank has long since been removed. The 3020 was sold to the Maine Central railroad in 1944, becoming their number 655 and was scrapped in less than ten years. This was a commissioned drawing, and the owner of the original drawing wanted to be depicted standing in the light colored shirt in the scene, and he wanted me to be standing with him. I am in the dark colored shirt, pointing out something of interest on the 3020's valve gear.

Central Vermont Railway T-3a class Texas 2-10-4 steam locomotive number 707
A father and son watch as Central Vermont Railway T-3a class Texas 2-10-4 type steam locomotive number 707 leads a northboaund manifest freight train past the station at Roxbury, Vermont. A local freight with a class M-5a Concolidation 2-8-0 type steam locomotive waits at the left for the manifest freight to clear before proceeding south in this circa early 1950's scene.
My client, who commissioned the original drawing that the prints were produced from, is the boy standing in front of the station. He was born in 1957, and his father passed away years before I was commissioned to do this drawing. My clients favorite locomotive is the Central Vermont 707 steam locomotive, and he wanted to have this locomotive in the scene. The locomotive was cut up for scrap the same year that my client was born, and he never saw the locomotive while it still existed. He requested that I bring the whole scene together with the 70, him as a small boy standing with his father, and his fathers 1951 Pontiac in the background.

Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad
This is a commission drawing, 18" X 24" that I did in 2005 of the last excursion run of the Washington Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railroad. This scene takes place on August 18, 1935 at Odenton, Maryland at the junction of the PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD's mainline between Baltimore, MD. and Washington, D.C. The WB&A was in it's final week of operation before closing down forever, and a group of railroad enthusiasts chartered this special run over the railroad's entire system. It was during this trip that the enthusiasts got together and formed the NATIONAL RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY which is still with us today. Interurban parlor car number 100, and passenger interurban number 50 clatter over the PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD's tracks and past the tower which controlled the alignment of the overhead wire gantry. This steel gantry carried overhead wires for both the WB&A and the PRR, and could be lowered to allow the WB&A cars to cross, or lifted to permit the PRR's big GG1 electric locomotives to pass through. After the WB&A's demise in August of 1935, the overhead gantry was taken down as well as the tower governing train movements through the junction. My client's Great-Grandfather and Great-Uncle both worked for the WB&A, and their portraits are in the front windows of the number 100. My client's Grandmother's house was located out of sight in the drawing to the left, but he still wanted it to be included in the scene. I decided to reverse the image of his Grandmother's house, and put it's reflection in the windows of the passing train so that it could be included in the drawing.
