Description:Iron Horses & Paintbrushes: My Life as a Railroad Man & Artist is the memoirs of lifetime railroader and railroad artist Charles L. Amos. An official for the Western Maryland Railway in the 1950s and 1960s Amos left to join the Federal Railroad Administration and later the federal Department of Transportation, becoming an integral force in the passage of the 4R Act of 1976, along with John W. Snow, that helped salvage a dying railroad industry. Amos retired from his final post with the Association of American Railroads to pursue a new career in art. His lifelong passion for realistic painting, coupled with several years of professional artistic training under acclaimed Baltimore Impressionist Marjorie Martinet and three decades of railroad experience, quickly made him one of the most influential American railroad artists ever to put a brush to canvas. His talents and fame placed him alongside greats Howard Fogg and Ted Rose in the world of railroad art. Lucrative commissions from railroads, companies, and individuals across the country supplied his income, while his directorship with the Western Maryland Scenic Railway kept him firmly entrenched in the railroad industry. Over 30 of Amos’s original artworks are reproduced throughout the pages of this book in stunning quality. The book's two forewords are provided by former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and CEO of CSX Transportation John W. Snow, as well as renowned railroad writer and former New York Times columnist Karl Zimmermann.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
