His brother Ross was my grandfather. I was told many years ago that there are old subway areas that have murals painted on the walls by Les but I have never been able to see proof. It always peaked my interest. Thank you for sharing!

Another important NYC Railroad artist was Walter Greene. He did some very impressive work in the 1930s.

Some I had never seen before. My mother has several original oils but none of those fabulous posters.

I believe I have the original of his 1952 BUDD Western Pacific railroad car. Thanks and I hope to hear from you.

Ragan. I have an original photo (same pose) since he was my father’s cousin. I think he was in the army not the Air Force. The “Air Force” was not called that until WWII. Leslie served in the 21st AFRO SQDN. Amex Forces in France, and I believe that would have been the army. Not really important, but would like to know for my own information. If you can tell me where you got the information I’d be very appreciative. My family has just one or two very early originals that were done on paper but were signed Leslie D Ragan probably when still in school.
