N&W office framed wall scenery pictures

[NW Mailing List]

June 22, 2008

The N&W created framed pictures for offices and stations. Some made the locomotive and train the central subject.  In others, a train is visible in the corner of the foreground or background at a distance, with a sweeping view of landscape as the subject.  Many started out as black and white enlargements that are hand-tinted.

Has anyone collected or compiled a list of these pictures, or are these in the N&W Archives collection?  I am wondering if there is a list of views that has identified locations or given names to these pictures.

Thank you,
