Fogg and Steam is a spectacular celebration of the steam locomotive era! A tour de force of railroadiana that includes 26 never-before-published Howard Fogg paintings and over 100 superb photographs brought together in a large, handsome 14x101/2 hardcover format. Text by rail enthusiast Frank Clodfelter includes contributions by Howard Fogg, Richard H. Kindig, Omer Lavallee, J. Norman Lowe, Louis M. Newton, and Jim Scribbins. Photographs by some of the country's foremost rail cameramen complete this tribute to the glory years of steam. Fogg and Steam was created by men with a single-minded devotion and love for those masterpieces of design and machined precision - the steam locomotives of North America!
How did this magnificent album of railroad memories begin? According to author Frank Clodfelter: "Fogg and Steam ... started when I was an infant. My parents unknowingly conveyed to me the idea that railroading was the most important and fascinating business on earth. My mother carried me in her arms aboard trains amid a baptism of engine smoke and cinders to indoctrinate me . . ."
Clodfelter's life is the dream of every railfan, for he lived around and worked with "those exhaust-cracking engines" knowing the thrill of handling the throttle and excitement of a fast-running locomotive.
In an effort to preserve an esthetic appreciation of railroading, Clodfelter commissioned a series of paintings from noted rail artist Howard Fogg. His purpose was twofold: first, to retain in book form a pictorial record of a few North American trains. Secondly, it was to honor the life of an American artist who, for over three decades, has followed his own drummer by painting trains for a livelihood.
