Printed by Gallant Graphics in Stanfordville, New York, the layout carries full-page black and white architectural photographs reproduced on heavy matte art paper. The terminal colophon records the three exhibition print sizes offered alongside the 2017 gallery release. Silent Monoliths: The Coaling Tower Project documents the monumental reinforced concrete locomotive coaling stations built across North America during the height of the steam railroad era.

The original essay text appeared in the August 2016 issue of Trains magazine, and the project reached a wider audience nearly a decade later when The Mit Press published an expanded commercial edition in 2026, accompanied by profiles in Chronogram and Railfan & Railroad magazines. …
