Inhaltsangabe

The years between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s saw a marvellous flowering of railroad photography in America. Photographers vied with one another to record the passing scene. The most demanding technical efforts - often involving heroic set-ups of complex flash equipment - were devoted to capturing railroad operation at night. "Starlight on the Rails" is a contribution to a specific photographic history, a continuation of the story that fascinates so many readers of O. Winston Link's books. Here are many more styles, including experiments capturing the feeling of moving trains. This volume of photographs taken between the end of World War II and the mid-1960s offers a poetic glimpse of silent railroad stations, lonely motormen and the last great American steam engines.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jeff Brouws grew up around the San Francisco Bay area, simultaneously discovering trains, photography, and the writings of Jack Kerouac (who was a brakeman for the Southern Pacific in the early 1950s) at the age of thirteen. His photographic work has been published in several books, including Railroading West (1976) and Highway: America's Endless Dream (1997). Edward Delvers grew up in Japan at a time when steam was still king. After his family returned to the United States, he traveled the country photographing trains through the late 1960s, then studied photographic science at MIT under the tutelage of Dr. Harold Edgerton. He has made a career in numerous fields, ranging from energy research to satellite communications to aviation, meanwhile maintaining photography as a passion.
