We were delighted to welcome Anthony Schmidt Photography to the Museum during Anthony's once-in-a-century journey across America's most iconic highway - Route 66! 🚗📸

Anthony’s remarkable adventure combines photography, classic cars, and a real cross-country drive, creating a unique perspective on America’s transportation heritage.

During his visit, it looked like our Chrysler Turbine Car was parked right beside Union Pacific Big Boy #4006—but look a little closer! The Turbine Car is actually a die-cast model. Anthony’s creative photography adds an entirely new dimension to the art of the photograph, blending imagination and reality in ways that make you stop and look twice.

Thank you, Anthony, for sharing your talent and vision with us. Safe travels on the rest of your incredible journey!
