“The beauty of Hill’s locomotive paintings are found in the way he captures the essence of each
railroad. The 1950s represented a period in railroad history that found America with an abundance
of regional rail lines, all featuring distinctive paint schemes. Often railroads operated only in a small
geographical location and were unknown in some parts of the country” (Railroad Heritage, No. 6,
2002, p. 10).
