Trains: A Photographer's Journey
|
| By : Graeme Outerbridge |
TRAINS is a photographic journey to the world of railroads. For five years, photographer Graeme Outerbridge traveled the globe by rail photographing everything that caught his eye-hulking engines, stations both lonely and bustling, dark tunnels, high-speed expresses, railroad workers, signs, signals, and the landscapes that the trains traversed. His images reveal the universal language of forms and colors that trains have created, and are as evocative as a lonesome whistle in the night. 225 photographs in full color.

Vanishing Steam: A Photographer's Odyssey Around the World
|
| By : Eric Langhammer |
Eric Langhammer has been riding the rails around the world for a quarter-century in search of the last steam engines. Now on the brink of extinction, these magnificent mechanical beasts can still be found at China's Jingpeng Pass and throughout the faded cities of Cuba, as well as in the ancient capitals of Romania and Turkey. To capture the elusive creatures, the photographer has weathered everything from sub-zero temperatures to Cold War political situations. His travels have taken him across the European continent to the arid landscapes of India and Pakistan and to the tropical outposts of the Far East. In this romantic photoessay with its dramatically lit images, Langhammer documents the twilight days of steam locomotives-as well as his own quixotic quest.

West Side Pictorial
|
| By : Mallory Hope Ferrell |
All aboard for an exciting visual adventure on the last narrow gauge logging railroad in the West! While everything that was the old West Side Lumber Company's narrow gauge in the Sierra died almost four decades ago, its history continues to have a life of its own in photographs, scale drawings, models, paperwork, artifacts, paintings, preserved equipment, and most of all... memories. On these pages, you'll find a dynamic visual history of the men, women, and machines of West Side, and get a feeling for what began 100 years ago and continues to this day. Take a ride back in time on the last of the narrow gauge loggers!
