It was like a moon shot, and it happened every night By the time he left the railroad association in 1984, Amos had been commissioned to produce six paintings for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co "I didn't retire to paint â€â€? I changed careers," Amos said "When they hit Baltimore Street, the earth shook," Amos said The youngster took a train downtown each week and befriended some of the engineers, who let him ride up front His parents, who owned a bookbinding plant, recognized their son's talent and sent him on Saturdays to the Marjorie Martinet School of Fine and Commercial Art in Baltimore Snow, who worked with Amos in Washington in the 1970s before becoming chief of CSX Corp "It was very encouraging," he said Now, 19 years later, he is "the leading railroad artist in the country," according to U Amos' detailed paintings of hulking locomotives, often under gray skies, capture the thrill he felt as boy, watching steam engines lumber like dinosaurs through Cumberland, Md S Treasury Secretary John W Man's Love of Railroads Turns Into Art Feb 19, 12:27 PM EST Each stroke of Charles L Amos' first calendar was published last year, attesting to what Bartik said is the growing popularity of railroad art Next he sold a painting for $1,000 It started with a series of landscape paintings for the couple's four children "He is a fanatic on authenticity Both lost their government jobs after Jimmy Carter defeated Ford in 1976 There, he arranged national railroad inspection tours to promote President Gerald R , a rail transportation company The train has to be leaving at a particular time, and all the bells and apparatus on that engine have to be exactly right," Bartik said Snow joined the Transportation Department shortly thereafter as a deputy assistant secretary Ford's deregulation plan Enchanted by steam locomotives while growing up in the Baltimore area, Amos became, by turns, a railroad executive, a federal transportation official and the leader of a rail industry trade group With his family's encouragement, Amos entered one in a competition and won a ribbon and many private individuals in Cumberland, where the Amoses lived for 15 years " He has sold 200 paintings at prices up to $2,000 to buyers including CSX and other corporations "Certainly, in Cumberland and the Mid-Atlantic area, he is recognized as THE railroad artist Three years later, he moved to the Transportation Department as a congressional relations officer "I thought it would be easier to pay my bills that way Other customers have included Safetran Systems Corp Amos also worked as executive director of Cumberland's chamber of commerce, and he was a volunteer at the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, a Cumberland tourist attraction with a 1916 steam locomotive , Delaware Otsego Corp " Snow recalled the trip in a speech last winter in Cumberland, where, as CSX chairman, he dedicated a building named for Amos at the company's locomotive shop complex , Sea-Land Service Inc When he took up art again, decades later, a cousin advised Amos to focus on railroad paintings "They had a profound effect upon my life," Amos said "He said, 'There's plenty of landscape and seascape painters around, but there's not many painters that understand the anatomy of a locomotive,'" Amos said " "I set up a railroad inspection trip for him "I said, 'John, you're writing all this legislation and you don't even know what a switch looks like,'" Amos said , where he was visiting his grandmother " He put away his art supplies after high school to pursue a transportation degree from the University of Baltimore's School of Business, Industry and Management It comes naturally to Amos, 72, who started sketching locomotives as a boy, bedridden with respiratory problems, in Lutherville, Md Amos' slender brush is colored by a lifetime spent dreaming, learning and teaching people about trains "It was unbelievable The pictures' appeal lies partly in their fine detail, said Gary G He was a lawyer and economist with an academic background; Amos showed him the gritty reality of a rail yard Amos is less renowned than Howard Fogg or Ted Rose, two late locomotive painters of note, but "he's starting to get some national recognition," Bartik said "It was an inducement to go to art school rather than stay home and play ball with the kids "I used to draw to amuse myself, and so, I'd draw trains," he said Amos became executive director of the Association of American Railroads, and soon started painting again " He landed a job with the Western Maryland Railway, a freight carrier that ran from Baltimore through Cumberland, and worked his way up to assistant superintendent over 18 years , to be closer to their children "I wanted to be a railroad man," Amos said Bartik, who arranged a 16-painting exhibition last year at a Cumberland gallery shortly before Amos and his wife, Mary, moved from Cumberland to Hanover, Pa Amos left that job to take a position with the newly created Federal Railroad Administration, advising administrators on train operations , then part of the Chessie System, predecessor to CSX He gave it all up at age 53 to paint occupation authorities announced Saturday The Nimrud treasures date back to about 900 B They also said fewer than 50 items from the Iraqi National Museum's main exhibition collection remain missing after the looting and destruction that followed the capture of Baghdad by U S C One of the 20th century's most significant archaeological finds, the objects have not been exhibited since the early 1990s There are still important items that are missing from the museum's collection A coalition official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at a news briefing that, contrary to earlier reports, the number of artifacts looted or lost from the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad was significantly exaggerated and were discovered by Iraqi archaeologists in the late 1980s in four royal tombs at the site of the ancient city of Nimrud near Mosul in northern Iraq " Of those, 47 are main exhibition items but most of the others, including small shards of pottery, are not worthy of museum display Their discovery will help assuage the worries of archaeologists fretting for the country's ancient heritage forces The artifacts â€â€? gold earrings, finger and toe rings, necklaces, plates, bowls and flasks, many of them elaborately engraved and set with semiprecious stones or enamel â€â€? were found several days ago when the vault was opened, according to an official of the Coalition Provisional Authority, the official name of the U Of the 170,000 initially thought missing, only 3,000 objects remain unaccounted for But, he added: "There is no room for complacency "Early inspection of the pieces suggest that they are in good condition," said a statement issued by the provisional authority S S Later this week, it said, a team from the British Museum will join Iraqi experts to look into how best to protect them -led occupation force "It is a great relief that so much of the museum's main collection is safe and in good condition," said Pietro Cordone, the provisional authority's senior adviser on cultural affairs Treasures of Nimrud Found in Iraqi Vault Jun 7, 12:52 PM EST The world-famous treasures of Nimrud, unaccounted for since Baghdad fell two months ago, have been located in good condition in the country's Central Bank â€â€? in a secret vault-inside-a-vault submerged in sewage water, U |
