This painting depicts the last and largest steam locomotive - a Pacific (4-6-2) - that would have used the arches prior to their having been abandoned when the tracks were realigned in 1912.

The painting was completed with the help of Dave Pierce, the president of the Chester Foundation and curator of the Chester Depot museum. Dave provided a scale model of the Pacific, as well as an assist in taking the reference photos of the arch. It was an interesting challenge to imagine the locomotive chugging through the glade on the long-gone rails that once crossed the series of arches on their way between Boston and Albany.

If you have a comment or question, please contact me. I...
