Train 31 the "Butte Express" stops at Pocatello to change crews and pick up passengers. The train is heading northbound for its remaining 260 mile journey to Butte Montana. As the new crew waits to board the locomotive and inbound crew climbs off their train on a bitter cold January day. The steam mixed with the cold air makes for a scene that jogs the memories of those fortunate enough to have experienced it. . | ||||||||

Woman in long dresses and parasols, men in top hats and gloves, along with a brightly colored steam locomotive and luxurious passenger car let us reflect on the emotions associated with traveling by train.

This scene depicts the mood of a last minute boarding on the 8:20 out of Omaha. As a child, I recall being at a train station similar to this traveler. I can still remember vividly how different the atmosphere was at night. Although the platforms were lit, reflections and shadows flowed from the trains as well as escalators moving people between platforms. It is an experience preserved in both a photograph taken by Richard Steinheimer and my Artwork but most importantly in the hearts and memories of those travelers and all who love trains.

The streamlined version of the Baltimore & Ohio's, 4-6-2 was an all-coach train that ran from Baltimore to Cincinnati. Although the train boasted of a 95% on-time performance record, its life of service was short lived. This somewhat unusual looking steam engine in its brilliant blue color with black and gold accent, was strikingly beautiful in a snowy backdrop like "The Cincinnatian in Winter".
