National Railroad Museum
At the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the trains are remarkable not only for their size and history but also for the extraordinary details across their surfaces. Rivets, wheels, linkages, hand-painted lettering, worn metal, faded graphics, and decades of rust and use create compositions that often feel more like industrial abstractions than pieces of machinery.
This series moves between those intimate details and a handful of broader views of the locomotives themselves. Together, the images celebrate the beauty of mechanical design, craftsmanship, and age, where function, engineering, and time have combined to create something unexpectedly visual and beautifully interesting.
