Trains News Wire EXCLUSIVE: Vintage rail cars transport rolling art exhibit
The song lyrics are “It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford/Slowing down to take a look at me.” The color of the truck was not mentioned.
Silliness, methinks. Leave the “artists” in Madison, WI, with their brethren.
Some of us saw this train eastbound into Chicago recently on the BNSF “racetrack” through Eola.
So, should we disinter artist/designer Otto Kuhler, who designed these elegant cars, and reinter him in Madison, along with what else is left of the streamlined rail equipment he conceived of? While we’re at it, we could do the same to artists Ted Rose, Dick Steinheimer, and a host of others. No, a culture without art in its many forms - railroad or otherwise - would be a dull place indeed.
Is their a video of this on youtube?
It’s quiz time: name the actual designer of the Skytop series cars for the Milw. Road. One clue: it was not Otto Kuhler.
Adam Auxier has done a great job of putting private car train trips together the past ten years.
