Green!
Through Devore 12" x 16" Oil on board Santa Fe 3751 leaning into the last curve descending Cajon Pass. Ahead, track signals are green for as far as the eye can see on Santa Fe's main line to San Bernardino. As evidenced by the quickly disappearing plume of smoke, the crew wastes no time reaching the speed limit through Devore. (private collection) |

Dusty Afternoon Format: 14" x 11" Oil on board Backside of the water tower and coal towers at the East Ely Yard of the Nevada Northern Railway. The main yard is just beyond the water tower. These structures were built to service a roster of over 20 coal-fired steam engines serving central Nevada copper mines. Several engines built new for this railroad 100 years ago have been preserved, and are still in operation today. This property has been acclaimed as the "Best preserved standard-gauge short line in America" by the Smithsonian. Just to the right of this scene, sheep are gently grazing in a wonderful spring-fed pasture. (available) |
