Synopsis

Wheels Rolling--West, a salon of fine images from the West's finest rail photographers, explores the captivating qualities of Western railroading in engaging style. From the steam-diesel transitional years of the late 1940's and early 1950's through the first generation diesels of the early 1960's and the diesel's own evolution in the late '60's and '70's, Wheels Rolling--West offers a long, loving look at the land, mem and machines that make the railroads of the American West the most fascinating on the face of the earth.
