Train Terminal Pins and Buttons
Description: Pacific Intermountain Express (P.I.E) got their start in 1927 when the Lilenquest brothers began providing freight service in Idaho, running two Model A trucks between Pocatello to Idaho Falls. The company grew steadily, but P.I.E finally took shape after procuring three other firms and consolidating them in 1940. By 1946 P.I.E had 535 employees and was growing rapidly through ongoing acquisitions in the late 1940s and 1950s. In 1954, P.I.E became the largest hauler of petroleum products in the world. Service now extended from the west coast all the way to St. Louis and Chicago. By the mid 1960s, P.I.E extended service to the east coast through more acquisitions, giving them 67 terminals in 29 states.

Description: Grand Central Station, New York I present to you a long exposure of the inside of New York's Grand Central Station. As this is a long exposure you will notice the movement of people appearing like a ghostly image compared to the people stood still while the shutter was open. I think this adds to the drama of the image as well as the black and white conversion. This really stands out as a metallic print but will also make for a great puzzle or mug as a gift.
