Kalmbach illustrator

RICHFIELD, Wis. — For more than 40 years, readers of Trains magazine were the beneficiaries of one of railroad publishing’s most accomplished but unsung talents, a man who created hundreds of the railroad maps that helped seal the magazine’s reputation. But unless you read the tiny, 6-point type in the corner, you wouldn’t know the name of Robert A. “Bob” Wegner. Wegner, a 42-year employee of the Art Department at the former Kalmbach Publishing Co., died Jan. 6 at age 83.
