J. Craig Thorpe (American, B. 1948) "Kentucky Locomotive" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood Legendary Locomotives of the 50 States Kentucky Commemorative Cover postmarked December 5, 1994. Incorporated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky on March 5, 1850, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad began as a 187-mile line between the two cities for which it was named. The L&N grew quickly, and by 1881 the "Old Reliable," as the company had become known, ran from Cincinnati to New Orleans, some 927 miles. The railroad now acted as a vital link between the Midwest and Gulf Coast. Perhaps the proudest moment in the L&N's history came on December 5, 1921. That's the day the Pan-American, one of the most luxurious passenger trains of its time, was born. Traveling by rail would never be the same. Affectionately called the Pan, this incredible train was powered by L&N-built Pacifics and boasted "high-class all-steel coaches," sleepers and chair cars. When its passengers got hungry, "meals of the highest quality" were served in the diner. All this provided "the traveling public a service superior to anything previously offered by the Old Reliable or its competitors." Most train travelers thought it couldn't get any better than this, but on May 11, 1925, the Pan stopped carrying coaches and became all Pullman, making it "The Last Word in De-Luxe Passenger Equipment." Now the Pan offered showers, maid and valet service, a radio with earphones and the "dining car service for which this line is famous." The 4-6-2 steam engine pictured on this artwork, was built by the L&N's own South Louisville Shops. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 18 x 15 in. Unframed. (B14885)
