Acrylic on canvas panel. 7 x 5 inches.
Bountiful Grain & Craig Mountain GP30 #3003 crosses the old steel truss bridge at Ahsahka, Idaho, about four miles west of Orofino, in June 2023. This track is part of the old Camas Prairie Railroad line. She’s moving a string of condemned freight cars that had been stored on the disused tracks around Orofino, and taking them towards Lewiston for further disposal. The striking orange paint job on 3003 and her sister GP30 #2404 is a real standout among the greens, grays, blues, and browns of the Clearwater River canyon. This is one of two similar paintings I did of the same subject. This painting measures only 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall, so that is why the texture of the canvas shows through so strongly in this very close-up photo.
