The Fall 2024 issue of Railroad Heritage, our quarterly journal, focuses on the “Art” in the Center’s name. But that’s not all … highlights of this beautiful magazine include:
- Railroads and Public Art: From Montana to Texas to New York, Justin Franz looks at creative public art installations that pay tribute to railroads, their people, and their history;
- Portland’s Switchers – Railroads and the Art of Place: Kyle Weismann-Yee explores BNSF and Union Pacific urban switch jobs with fifteen years of photographing the back streets and forgotten sidings of Portland, Oregon;
- Painting for a Cause: Elrond Lawrence interviews artist Jim Potterton of Santa Cruz, California, whose dynamic artwork celebrates railroads while helping efforts to save a former Southern Pacific line;
- A special edition of “Out of the Archives” goes underground with Adrienne Evans and Inga Velten, who show us many of the MTA Arts & Design program installations across New York’s subway system and commuter lines;
- Steaming West with the Big Boy: The Center followed UP 4014 across Nevada to California, hosting a special member event in Roseville; Elrond Lawrence takes you along for the fun.
Also: The Art of Trains exhibition in New York City, our fantastic “Conversations” conference in June, the arrival of the Kalmbach Art Collection, Center news, and more!
