The Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University, (About an hours'
drive from Chicago) is currently hosting an extraordinary exhibition of
Railroad China:

I had the good fortune to visit the exhibit last week and was highly impressed, both by pieces and patterns I had never seen before and how well the exhibit was displayed. If you have an opportunity to visit the exhibit I highly recommend it (the exhibit runs through March 22).

PS - As part of the exhibit, the Jay Christopher Transportation China Collection has also produced a really nice color companion book "American Railroad China: Image and Experience". Shameless Plug Department - it's available on our website! See our listing in the Railroad.net Classifieds:
