The Railroad Photography of Phil Hastings

This new publication explores the life and influential work of Dr. Philip R. "Phil" Hastings (1925-1987), who, along with his contemporaries, changed the way we look at the North American railroad. 

Influenced by the photojournalistic movement that developed during their childhoods, these visionaries expanded their work from traditional locomotive roster and action shots into a holistic view of the railroad environment.

Collated by Tony Reevy, this hardcover features 140 full-page, black-and-white photographs from throughout Hasting's career and includes an introduction that explores his life and work, including his relationships with noted author and editor David P. Morgan and photographer Jim Shaughnessy.

The Railroad Photography of Phil Hastings represents a major contribution to the historical record of the life and work of this remarkable photographer, whose images shaped how we perceive and experience railroads throughout North America.
