PRAIRIE THUNDER: 80 Years of Midwestern Railroad Photography

September 24, 2005 - February 19, 2006

 

With its speeding locomotive and long silhouette breaking the horizon, photographers have long been thrilled by the railroad and attempted to capture its image. As the photographer’s gaze meets the rails, the rail worker, his visage weathered by vigilant years of hard labor gazes back and is also captured by the camera. This exhibit features 75 such images from the archives of The Pantagraph, Steve Smedley, and Bruce Meyer.
