David Plowden '51 Publishes "Requiem for Steam" Collection

Chicago-based photographer David Plowden's latest book is a reverent tribute and requiem for the era of steam. For years David photographed all facets of the railroad world, from long steam-powered freight trains crisscrossing middle America to the yards, small stations, and industrial settings that are synonymous with trains. While his photographic love affair with America has resulted in many books and exhibitions of his beautiful documentary photographs, he never lost sight of the railroads, where his work would result in the images presented in this book.
