EVERY DETAIL of Ken Boyd's locomotive photographs, from bolts and conduits to sheet metal and windows, is painstakingly evaluated and then digitally edited to enhance luminance, contrast, tonality, and color. The results are images bristling with details not visible in conventional images. The Art of the Locomotive is a handsome portfolio featuring more than 150 of Boyd's photographs, from
diminutive steam engines of the middle nineteenth century to the steam and diesel behemoths that followed. The locomotives are from all quarters of the United States and accompanied by captions detailing their technological details and operational histories. The result is a fantastic collection of locomotive photography like no other, depicting the details railfans crave!
