Howard Fogg's Trains Calendar

Considered the all-time master of railroading art, Howard Fogg painted the power and majesty of the steel wheel on the steel rail. After rail fans discovered Fogg's artistry, he spent the next 50 years as a freelance artist reinventing the steam age. In Howard Fogg's Trains, his paintings live on commemorating the great age of railroading.
