Timed in conjunction with the release of celebrated photographer David Plowden's new book Requiem for Steam, an exhibition of his powerful images will debut at the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento. Developed by the Center for Railroad Photography & Art, the traveling "Requiem for Steam: The Railroad Photographs of David Plowden" exhibit features more than 25 of the book's stunning black-and-white prints. Images include towering views of steam locomotives in action, portraits of the men who operated them, and studies of small-town depots, framed by an industrialized America that no longer exists.

As a special treat, Railroad Museum visitors will have the rare opportunity to meet the celebrated photographer on Saturday, Nov 6 from 11am-3pm when Plowden will deliver fascinating lectures about his five decades of railroad photography. Plowden is renowned for speaking with a "twinkle" not only in his eyes but in his voice, inviting listeners to enjoy life and photography as much as he does.
