Looking Back: “Waiting on 33”

Today’s blog entry offers a behind-the-scenes look at my 1993 painting of the Louisville & Nashville depot at Englewood, Tennessee. The title of this painting is “Waiting on 33.” In this nostalgic scene, L1 Class No. 417 is coming off of a redboard on its way to Atlanta as J3 Class No. 1510 looks on.
