About Center for Railroad Photography & Art
The Center for Railroad Photography & Art is a non-profit arts and education organization in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 1997 to inform “the public about railroad photography and art through education, research and public service programs".
The Center collects high-quality photographs and works of art related to railroading and railroad workers. It has no museum, but collaborates with archives and public museums in creating programs with a national outreach. These programs include exhibitions, publications, conferences, and a website.
Incorporated as a nonprofit corporation in Wisconsin on December 9, 1997, the Center was fostered by John Gruber (1936-2018), a writer with a lifelong interest in railroads and their history who'd had the hobby of photographing railroads since 1960. The Railway and Locomotive History Society honored Gruber in 1994 with a lifetime achievement award in railroad photography.
