From the late 1940s onward, Wallace W. Abbey masterfully combined
journalistic and artistic vision to transform everyday
transportation moments into magical photographs. Abbey, a
photographer, journalist, historian, and railroad industry
executive, helped people from many different backgrounds understand
and appreciate what was taken for granted: a world of locomotives,
passenger trains, big-city terminals, small-town depots, and
railroaders. During his lifetime he witnessed and photographed
sweeping changes in the railroading industry from the steam era to
the era of diesel locomotives and electronic communication. Wallace
W. Abbey: A Life in Railroad Photography profiles the life and work
of this legendary photographer and showcases the transformation of
transportation and photography after World War II. Featuring more
than 175 exquisite photographs in an oversized format, Wallace W.
Abbey is an outstanding tribute to a gifted artist and the
railroads he loved.
