In this episode of Stacktalk with the Rail Brothers, Bill and Dan argue over who was the greatest railroad industrial designer. Mainly focusing on the streamliner era of the 1930s & 1940s, they discuss the design styles and philosophies of Raymond Loewy, famous for his design of the Pennsylvania Railroad GG1, and Henry Dreyfuss, whose iconic styling of the New York Central’s 20th Century Limited still defines an era. Others still: Otto Kuhler’s Milwaukee Road streamlined Hiawatha, Leland Knickerbocker’s early EMD diesels, Paul Philippe Cret and John Harbeson designing iconic Budd trains, and Brooks Stevens designing the Milwaukee Road’s skytop lounges. Which designer will come out on top? Find out on this episode of Stacktalk!
