Now Available - New Illinois Terminal Prints!
Robert West, one of America's top railroad illustrators, has unveiled two of his newest paintings, reflecting operations on the Illinois Terminal Railroad. “On Time…All the Time” is a scene depicting a northbound 2-car streamliner, crossing over Route 66, at Springfield, Illinois. A 1953 Corvette emerges from beneath the overpass. An ironic twist is incorporated in the adjacent billboard sign.
The painting “Encounter at Illiopolis“, depicts the eastbound “City of Decatur” streamliner, passing over the Route U. S. 36 overpass, at Illiopolis, Illinois. A “Sunshine Dairy” Divco delivery truck driver exchanges a friendly wave, with motorman Ray Reed. On the adjacent Wabash mainline a passenger locomotive is pulling a freight train on a “break-in run” after repairs en-route back to Decatur.
