John E. Troxler and Steven Chen won first prizes in the 2020 John E. Gruber Creative Photography Awards Program in the black-and-white and color categories, respectively. Join us in a conversation about their photography.

Steven Chen took first prize in the color category with this shot of a CSX worker fixing the frog at the northeast end of Emory siding just outside of Atlanta, on January 29, 2019. Maintaining the essentials of railroading – the frog which connects the rails of sidings and main lines together – compose a humanistic side of railroad life.
