The Highland Light, used
by the Cape Cod Railroad on the Boston to Provincetown
run, was famed as one of the
most colorful engines of
the 19th century.
“This is a depiction of the first train to travel the route
between Boston and Provincetown called the Highland Light.
One blurry black and white photo remains of this train (traveling
with no other cars but the engine and the coal car as seen
here), but it was reputed to be very colorful by the locals
at the time. This is a highly researched piece. The colors
are based on descriptions written by local people along the
railroad, as well as the company that built the train. The
specific tone of the blue was narrowed down by comparison with
another train built at the same time by the same company that
has survived and is in a museum out west (Pennsylvania). This
train carried people and supplies out from Boston, and carried
sand back from Provincetown to Boston.”

bathing suit wandering around the edge of a sandbar? Worry
not, Grandma was right there watching him like a hawk.”
