In 1956 P&LE president John Barriger III  commissioned his friend, renown railroad artist, Howard Fogg,  to create a series of watercolor paintings of scenes and customer plants along the P&LE or its subsidiary railroads.

These paintings were reproduced as postcards, calendars, appointment books and prints of various sizes. Most of Mr. Fogg's paintings were compiled into a High quality book which was appropriately titled " Along the Right of Way". These items were a resounding success as an advertising promotion. They were very attractive and proudly displayed by the P&LE's customers. What better way to give the P&LE daily visibility to potential customers?
