In
the late 1940’s,
due to significant post war backorders of diesel and modernized
passenger equipment, The B&O Railroad, along with rival
C&O Railroad, streamlined a few steam locomotives and upgraded
existing passenger equipment in an effort to boost rail traffic.
This limited edition train print showcases the B&O 4-6-2,
P7 #5301 (The
Cincinnatian) alongside
the C&O 4-6-4 L1 Hudson #490 (The George Washington) at
Cincinnati Union Terminal. These engines reflected the hope for future
passenger business. Ironically, within 15 years, these railroads
would merge, forming the foundation of one of today’s premier railroad
freight companies, CSX.
This historical painting of two streamlined steam locomotives is now
available as
a
limited edition Giclee print with special pricing &
free shipping. Each limited edition Giclee print
ships with a Certificate
of Authenticity. The limited edition size for reproductions
of the original painting is 200 large
prints and 500 small prints. Your satisfaction is backed by
