Steel Rails Gallery presents
Many of the artist's commissions come from corporate clients. These are railroad companies as well as companies on the supply side of the railroad industry. Some of Robert's corporate clients include companies such as GE Transportation Systems Inc., CSX Railroad Corporation, BNSF Railroad Corporation, Canadian National Railroad, Canadian Pacific Railway, Amtrak, Norfolk Southern Corporation, JMA Railroad Supply, PHW Corp, Dixie Precast Inc., Rail Sciences, Delta Air Lines, as well as many others. These commissions are executed according to strict and exacting technical requirements and standards.
Private commissions are more nostalgic in scope and tend to deal more with one's favorite trains, automobiles, memories, events, specific locations, or a combination of the above.
As one should expect, an original commission is one which both the artist and the collector should take very seriously.
Please call or contact us via e- mail for price quotes on commissions.
