Broad Street Station -
Richmond, VA - This masterfully executed watercolor is my
all-time favorite work by well-known railroad artist Tony Howe. It depicts
Atlantic Coast Line steam and diesel power, along with a Norfolk &
Western J class streamlined steam engine. This truly is one of Tony's
greatest pieces in my opinion.

Rock Island Choctaw Rockette
- Tony skillfully captures the spirit of Rock Island streamlined service
between Memphis and Amarillo in its waning days before it was relegated
to a Budd RDC car in 1953. In this wonderful creation we see a TA
powered version of the Choctaw Rockette. If you're a Rock Island fan,
this piece needs to be in your collection.

Santa Fe Texas Chief - In this extraordinary piece, Tony Howe portraits a northbound E6-powered Texas Chief running along the Washita River at "Crusher" in southern Oklahoma's Arbuckle Mountains between Gene Autry and Dougherty on its run between Galveston and Chicago.

The Memphis Belles - Steam is rapidly giving way to the diesel in this 1950s era scene set at Memphis's Union Station. Like racehorses lined up at the gate, we see Southern, Missouri Pacific, Cotton Belt (SSW), NC&StL
and L&N trains awaiting their scheduled departure times.

Steam's Glory Days - Southern steam prevails in this 1940s era view of Meridian, Mississippi, but the Illinois Central is represented too.
