Spring 2023: Ronald C. Hill, finishing paintings, stations & stamps, steam and more

A heartfelt tribute to Ronald C. Hill by Jeff Brouws headlines the spring issue of Railroad Heritage, our magazine for Center members, complete with a classic Hill cover of the Rio Grande Zephyr. Highlights include:

  • Our cover story tribute to Ronald C. Hill, who passed away in January 2023, written by Jeff Brouws and illustrated with Ron’s great photography.
  • Artist Gil Bennett’s story about his work completing Howard Fogg’s last painting and others.
  • An interview with Adrienne Evans, director of archives and collections, with updates on the processing of various collections such as Richard Steinheimer’s.
  • Exploring the development of the Post Office’s new line of railroad depot stamps, by Justin Franz.
  • “Writes of Passage,” an outstanding photo essay by photographer and writer Rick Malo.
  • The esthetics of steam locomotive design: drawings, photographs, and a 1948 term paper by Robert A. Witbeck.
  • The railroad family of Tom Hoback, 2022 donors, and more!
