only railroad missing in the art is the Cotton Belt. “That’s because a Cotton Belt streamliner didn’t serve Dallas,” Winfield notes. One small example of the desire to create an authentic scene while employing artistic license to satisfy a client is the hotel sign in the upper right. “The buyer wanted that sign, visible only from certain vantage points, in the painting. But to get it in the painting and capture an accurate track pattern for six trains, I had to move it forward.” Another compromise? “These six trains were never arrayed to depart at the same time, as shown.” Winfield explains the Southern Pacific occupying a centered forward position, pointing out it is the only railroad to use Alco PAs to pull its streamliners. “All the others used E units that day.” To Learn More: See winfieldart.
