For the ninety years spanning 1934 to 2024, Kalmbach Publishing Co.
(later Kalmbach Media) was a national leader in railroad publications
with its books and flagship magazines,
Trains and
Model Railroader. Editors like David P.Morgan helped shape the
visual culture of railroading. The company amassed a collection of more
than fifty original paintings and drawings, their creators a who's who
of railroad artists. Following the sale of Kalmbach to Firecrown Media
in 2024, the company donated the Kalmbach Art Collection to the Center
for Railroad Photography & Art, which now preserves and shares the
artwork through a traveling exhibition and this publication.
