In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Pacific Railway Act, we take a look back at ten great American passenger trains, from steam engines to streamliners

Mighty Trains

The century-old train car known to be the site of business transactions for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus has long been too fragile for visitors to step inside. The Wisconsin has faced conservation issues due to the discontinuation of spare train parts. Through a project led by the University of South Florida, it will no longer be limited to glancing through a window.

The image is a romantic one. Women in fashionable full-length dresses boarding well-appointed trains for a scenic journey on the rails. But as I research my forthcoming novel set in 1850s Pennsylvania, I’ve discovered that railroad travel for women – and men – was usually anything but romantic. As railroads began offering passenger service – the first passenger train in the US was operated by the Baltimore and Ohio rail line in 1827 – seating was what you might call egalitarian. There were no lu

What do you think of the oldest photographs of Pennsylvania?

As early as 1925 the London & North Eastern Railway were cannily marketing both the locomotive Flying Scotsman (4472) and the named train service - it certainly probably was a contender for the confident assumption that it was the most famous train in the world. The cover artwork is very potent - worked up by Harry Gawthorn, a well-known commercial artist who also did many posters for the company.

Giant clouds of steam billowing from the smokestacks of might clanking steam-powered trains chugging and clanking slowly but steadily across the land - these words describe the raw power and history in motion captured in the amazing train photography of Matthew Malkiewicz.

Last Sunday at my church, I heard John Ortberg speak about the open doors in our lives. I have to tell you. I was struck by it. Because after hearing the message the first time. I went upstairs to my studio later the same night. And listened to it again. This time. With my journal open. Taking notes. You know if I'm taking notes. The message must be all up in my business. It was. I'm opening my journal this morning. And sharing a few of John Ortberg's comments with you. What I learned about open doors. "Open doors are never just about me. You're blessed to be....a blesser. Your mission is to bless..........to add life to someone." I'm pretty consistent. Consistent in usually making everything.....about me. So, the idea that God blesses me. (And I have no problem with that statement.) Is really so that I can.....in turn....bless someone else? "open doors are never just about me." I don't think I've ever considered it. He may bless me with my job. So that I can, in turn, be a blessing to someone else who works with me. He may bless me in my walk through cancer. So that I can, in turn, be a blessing to someone else that faces the same diagnosis. He may bless me with incredible experiences in Africa. So that I can, in turn, bless others by encouraging them to go and serve there. My blessings are not just for me. It's sad, but it was quite a revelation. "God is more concerned with the person I become than the circumstances I inherit." My circumstances. What have they been? Problem - free. Full of difficulty and conflict. Times when money and family budgets were tight. Times of financial abundance. Circumstances of loss, disappointment and grief. Times of fun and laughter. Circumstances when I've been completely overwhelmed. And stressed. Times of relative peace. No matter the circumstances I find myself in. God is more concerned that I look more like Jesus. Than giving me an easy time of it. So, whatever is going on around me. His greater interest. Is the person I become. "Who you become when you go through the door, is often more important than getting to the other side." "People won't go through a door God has provided because they don't have peace. Peace lies on the other side of obedience, not this side." I think I've heard this in church my entire life. "If it's God's will, then I should feel peace about it." Maybe not. When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh. He didn't have peace at all. He didn't want to go. When God told Moses to lead the Israelite's out of Egypt. He didn't have peace at all. He felt completely inadequate for the job. I've used this as an excuse in my own life. Because something made me totally uncomfortable. And anxious. It must not be God's plan for me. Maybe that's just an excuse I've used. Because, After being uneasy and uncomfortable, I have occasionally taken a step anyway. and....after the step. After responding in something I believe He's called me to do. Peace does come. But.......I didn't consider. Peace might not come before. "You are not the first person to receive a hard assignment from God." Who ever feels total peace about a hard assignment? About an assignment that isn't necessarily safe or secure or manageable? None of us do. I don't. I have to remember. He's with me while I'm walking through that hard assignment. Through that difficult loss. Through that season of discouragement and conflict. He doesn't promise an easy time. He promises to be with me. "Reject the myth. if I make the wrong decision. if I chose the wrong door. I'll be on God's Plan B for the rest of my life." I believed this. I've made wrong decisions. I know I've chosen the wrong door in my life. Countless times. And in the back of my mind. I believed it. That God's plan for me was so narrow and specific. That if I didn't make all the right steps. I'd miss my entire purpose in life. And would have to settle. For Plan B. Honestly. Who can measure up to that kind of pressure? Not me. But, the idea. That God loves me. That He walks with me. Even when I make the wrong choice. Even when I go through the wrong door. And that He can make good come from my missteps. And my bad decisions. And my wrong choices. And redeem them all. That was a big one for me. And finally. "As we get older, we regret what we didn't do.... the words of love never spoken, the chance to serve that we never accepted, the costly gift that we never gave, the scary risk that we never took." "If you're not dead, you're not done. God always has an open door for you." "What will you do for me?" What will I do for Him? All quotes from John Ortberg.

WILLIAM S. PHILLIPS " Alameda Bound " Giclee Canvas Open Edition 20" x 10" in size MINT CONDITION Write-Up On The Piece Twenty-two planes made it through the training undamaged. Those crews and planes departed for their west coast rendezvous with the USS Hornet in late March. The Raiders flew their aircraft to McClellan Army Air Field in Sacramento then onto Alameda NAS. These days in California gave the pilots the last chance to hone their low-level flying skills as their aircraft underwent a final round of maintenance. No self-respecting pilot would give up the chance to buzz this West Coast icon if the opportunity presented itself. Here, Colonel Doolittle chases the Southern Pacific Daylight just before departing on his historic raid. William S. Phillips Phillips grew up loving art but never thought he could make it his livelihood. At college he majored in criminology and had been accepted into law school when four of his paintings were sold at an airport restaurant. That was all the incentive he needed to begin his work as a fine art painter. Bill Phillips is now a renowned aviation artist and the landscape artist of choice for many collectors. Bill's strengths as a landscape painter, a respect and reverence for a time and place, help him when painting aviation as well as classic landscapes. Phillips often spends days observing landscape subjects. Finding companionship with the land, he is able to convey the boundlessness of nature on the painted canvas inspiring a reverence for the natural landscape in its beholders. After one of his paintings was presented to King Hussein of Jordan, Phillips was commissioned by the Royal Jordanian Air Force. He developed sixteen major paintings, many of which now hang in the Royal Jordanian Air Force Museum in Amman. The Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum presented a one-man show of Phillips’ work in 1986. He is one of only a few artists to have been so honored. In 1988, Phillips was chosen to be a U.S. Navy combat artist. For his outstanding work, the artist was awarded the Navy’s Meritorious Public Service Award and the Air Force Sergeants Association’s Americanism Medal. At the prestigious annual fund raiser for the National Park Service, Bill’s work has been included in the Top 100 each year he has entered the competition and his work has won the Art History Award twice. Phillips was selected as the Fall 2004 Artist in Residence at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and tapped by the U.S. Postal Service to paint the stamp illustrations and header design for a pane of twenty stamps in 1997 entitled Classic American Aircraft. He was chosen again in 2005 for a pane of twenty stamps (ten designs) entitled American Advances in Aviation. Bill’s major collection of aviation art, Into the Sunlit Splendor, was published by The Greenwich Workshop Press in 2005. This is an open edition Giclee On Canvas by in perfect , mint condition.
