Let's say money was no object and you could comission an artist to paint a scene from the DAR. Who would be your artist and what would your scene be?

Here's my artist: http://www.davidaoram.com/

One of my photo choices. This is the toughest part, as there are so many good ones! http://dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=F ... Bridge.jpg It would have a DAR lettered tender instead of CP.

The DAR has inspired a lot of art and I plan to put together an art section on the dpi.

Hi Matt:

Here's a start to your art collection: http://www.kentolmie.com/dayliner.html

I really like this picture. You don't see too much of the dayliner, but I like the setting with the light snow. As indicated, this was taken in Bridgetown, just east of the station between it and the bridge.

However, I agree with your choice of the train crossing the Bear River Bridge. It would be great to have a painting of that.

That's a great painting, Jim. I'm not familiar with the location. The artist also painted a CN RS-18 at Ocean Terminal in Halifax.

John MacIntosh took so many great photos, its tough to pick a favorite. I'd like to print and frame a few more. So far, I've only done this one: http://dardpi.ca/wiki/index.php?title=F ... d_8-56.jpg
