Illustration from his 1950 book "Diesel-Electric 4030" (New York: Viking Press), a charming scene depicting a small town railroad station tucked into a hillside (the station plaque identifies the city as Hudson, New York), a couple of idle porters sitting around with carts awaiting the next train, some buildings and overpass in the background, etc. A delightfully moody, evocative piece.
