Wallace W. Abbey: A Life in Railroad Photography profiles the life and work of this legendary photographer and showcases the transformation of transportation and photography after World War II.
Featuring more than 175 exquisite photographs in an oversized format, Wallace W.
Abbey is an outstanding tribute to a gifted artist and the railroads he loved.
