Re: [CBQ] Richard Steinheimer photo

I was fortunate enough to see Richard and Shirley do a slide show at the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University in Dallas before Alzheimer's had tightened it's grip too much. He was an amazing artist. His collection had already been archived there by that time. His book "A Passion for Trains" is full of some outstanding B/W work. As far as CB&Q content, I know there is a shot of a two steam engines on the head end of a freight near Parkman, WY in some really deep snow, but he is mostly known for shooting the SP.

If you google his name you can get a feel for his style.

Take care,

Is that photo of the Ft. Madison-Bloomfield, IA trip on August 6th 1955.  If so that's the 637.   I was on that trip along with the late Charlie Able and, IIRC Phil Weibler....unknown to me at that time was along as well.

Going through some old TRAIN mags that I need to dump, too many of 'em. I came across a photo on page 6 of the July 1970 issue that shows a Q steam engine, appears to be a 2-6-2, on an Iowa branch.

It's a great photo, one that I would like to see enlarged as there is a lot of nice detail in the scene.

Does anyone know of Richard Steinheimer and has his photos ever been released for publication?
