It is a genuine vintage photographic print, not a digital reproduction. The picture you see above is a low resolution scan of the actual photo you will receive. My father's love of railroading began as a small boy. His father was a depot agent and telegraph operator for the Burlington in a variety of small towns in northern Missouri and southern Iowa. When I was young we decided to take up model railroading as a mutual hobby, which formed a bond that we shared until his death. Johnny never did anything in a small way. He embraced the hobby with all his energy and the scope expanded to collecting photographs, books and ephemera, even purchasing entire collections of photos. This collection has been in storage for over 35 years, and many images are well over 60 years old. Although he focused on the CB&Q, the collection expanded to include lines from all over the world. T are hundreds of photos of steam locomotives, rolling stock and depots, many of small and obscure rail lines. As an accomplished amateur photographer he took many original photographs himself. I now have the responsibility to dispose of this truly remarkable collection, and will do my best to describe each item accurately. Unless identified otherwise, all photos are believed to be printed from the original negatives. I will attempt to identify any that are copies. Your satisfaction is important to me, so please let me know if t are problems with any of these items. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to contact me and I will do my best to fill your needs.
