"The beauty of Hill's locomotive paintings is found in the way he captures the essence of each railroad. The 1950s represented a period in railroad history that found America with an abundance of regional rail lines, all featuring distinctive paint schemes. Often railroads operated only in a small geographical location and were unknown in some parts of the country" (Railroad Heritage No. 6, 2002, p. 10).
