Throughout his work for General Motors, Hill "single-handedly managed to represent almost every railroad of the day" (Vintage Rails, January / February 1998, p. 75). He also graphically captured architectural, engineering and natural wonders along the various train routes. The "Frisco" was the colloquial name given to the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway. This image first appeared on the cover of Railway Age magazine on October 29, 1951.
