The Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University, in Indiana is currently
hosting an extraordinary exhibition of Railroad China:

I went to the exhibit this week and was highly impressed, both because of
pieces and patterns I had never seen before and how well the exhibit was
displayed. If you have an opportunity to visit the exhibit I highly
recommend it (the exhibit runs through March 22).

PS - As part of the exhibit, the Jay Christopher Transportation China
Collection has produced a really nice color book about the collection and
overview of the history of dining car china. (See our posting in the Classifieds!)

We are also including a copy of the exhibit catalog "The Art of Dining on Rails", a nice 32 page guide with photos and descriptions of the exhibit along with the American China book. Here is the link to the classified listing: http://rypn.sunserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27106
