Renowned railroad artist Howard Fogg made two paintings of the Freedom Train for the American Locomotive Company (Alco), builders of the locomotive that pulled the train. The more well-known painting, featuring the train by the Washington Monument, was used on posters and postcards that were sold at Freedom Train display sites. The lesser-known of the two (bottom) -- a meeting of old and new locomotives -- was apparently not reproduced. This "second" Freedom Train painting disappeared for decades, but has recently come to light! Read the whole story of its rediscovery here. B&W image: George Barker collection via Charles E. Dare and John J. Scala.
