END OF THE LINE FINE ART PRINT

$54.00

11″ X 14″ END OF THE LINE is a fine art giclee print reproduction of the original acrylic on canvas board original painting wall art showcasing a Santa Fe Railroad caboose from during the Santa Fe’s heyday. The legendary Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad used fleets of caboose cars during their time as America’s premier, great railroad. It wasn’t just a sleeper car for tired engineers conductors and brakemen. From the caboose the train’s crew could keep an eye out for shifting loads, uncoupled hoses and other safety issues. Each caboose also came with a caste iron wood-burning stove, long benches that converted into bunks and even a working toilet. This caboose, #110, can be seen at the Fullerton Railroad Museum at the Amtrak Train Station in downtown Fullerton, California. It’s a piece of history on wheels. All paintings are available as original art and fine art giclee prints. Each fine art giclee print is carefully reproduced on acid-free archival paper using non-fading pigmented inks. Each fine art print is signed by the artist.

The ol’ 110 caboose of this fine art print reproduction was literally a home away from home for Santa Fe engineers, conductors and brakemen. The standard Santa Fe caboose saw between thirty to forty years of service while receiving three to four complete coats of paint. A ‘mobile home’, if you will. It was a mobile office and living quarters. The caboose was indispensable during those long cross-country hauls. Railroads began using the caboose around the 1830s. The ‘cupola’, a lookout post on top of the caboose began to appear in 1863. #110 was probably built in 1929 and retired during the 1980’s when the use of the caboose, or ‘way car’ was discontinued. Now all freight trains have a FRED, (Flashing Rear End Device) attached to the last car of each train. All paintings are available as original art and fine art giclee prints. Each fine art giclee print is carefully reproduced on acid-free archival paper using non-fading pigmented inks. Each fine art giclee print is signed by the artist.
