Art Peterson Livres

Railroads have a public face, but there's a lot of work that goes on that people might not really notice. This collection of photographs takes readers into the workaday world of railroaders. To the loading docks, the yards, the wharves.Art Peterson has been collecting and shooting photos for decades and from that vast selection he has chosen the work of more than two dozen photographers covering North America from Florida to the Yukon Territory and from Nova Scotia to Southern California. The photos, all scanned from color slides, capture images from the late 1940s through the mid 1980s.These classic railroad scenes may have disappeared from everyday life, but now they're right here in your hands.
