Robert and Becky Pounds, Temple, Texas, have donated an original oil painting to the Waynoka Historical Society. The artist was the late
Jim Robison, Enid. Robert (Bob) Pounds commissioned the work in 1974 when he served as Special Agent for the Santa Fe Railroad in Waynoka.
The subject of the 30 in. x 40 in. painting is a train on Curtis Hill near Belva, more specifically a Santa Fe 2910 with a GFX block.
Also donated by Robert Pounds is a map of the Plains Division
of
the Santa Fe Railroad. The map, circa 1930, hung in the Railroad
Superintendent's Office in Wellington, Kansas until the division
closed.
The map, frame and glass are all original.
The oil painting is on display in the lobby of the Harvey House. The map is exhibited in the Waynoka History Museum on the second floor
of the Harvey House.
