Under Steam with Ian Clark

A Photographer’s Quest for Steam Locomotives

Once more common than automobiles, steam locomotives have become nearly extinct in North America. Only something like 200 remain capable of pulling trains in the United States and those are all museum pieces.

West Newbury based photographer Ian Clark has traveled the world, from mundane locations such as Inner Mongolia to the exotic Barnet, Vermont in search of working steam engines. He’s photographed over 130 engines under steam.
