The Railroad and the Art of Place: An Anthology

In Railroads and the Art of Place: An Anthology, a team of thirty contemporary and historical photographers--whose work is displayed across eighteen portfolios--visually contemplate the visible and philosophical imprint of the railroad on the American landscape. Combined with lucid, literary essays by Kevin P. Keefe, former editor of Trains magazine, noted transportation historian Alexander B. Craghead, industrial historian Matt Kierstead, and the late Michael Flanagan (author of Stations: An Imaginary Journey) the book, conceived by David Kahler, is sure to set a new benchmark in the field of railroad photography and transportation studies.

Produced to the highest standards and featuring 230 color and black-and-white photographs, this deluxe 372-page book printed on heavy stock portrays a storied industrial culture in an entirely new context.

Produced by the Center for Railroad Photography & Art and generously funded by the Kahler Family Charitable Fund.
