I have some images of authentic late 19th, early 20th century railroad timetable covers. They're beautiful, very ornate Victorian lettering and engravings. I forgot where I got them from... they're hi-res. I can give you some images if you'd like.
- Please do!... that would be greatCALLES
- Calles,
Do you have a server I can upload the images to? There's a lot of them, too large for email.
--Keithkeithrondinelli - hmm not really... is it too much trouble to upload it somewhere?CALLES

- I'll never be able to make it straight. From a distance it might look straight, but when you get close up, you can always see the line waver. And I think that's where the beauty is.********

This response is probably too late for your previous project; however, if you are really interested in old railroad art, your interest would most likely be centered on fallen flag railroad art. With that said, here's a link to some marvelous B&O railroad art in the form of prints and original paintings: http://www.nelsonartworks.net/
Good luck,
