OMAHA, Neb. – The Durham Museum is proud to partner with the Common Senses Festival Sept. 13-27 to host an exhibition inspired by this year’s preferred interest theme: trains.
One-Track Mind photography exhibition
Aug. 29 – Oct. 4
Acclaimed photographer Blair Bunting brings the beauty, power and artistry of American freight rail to life in One-Track Mind. When the pandemic paused commercial photography productions, Bunting turned his camera toward the railways of the American West, combining his lifelong fascination with trains with his award-winning photography career. The exhibition features striking images of rail systems across the country, from the iconic BNSF “Golden Swoosh” to Union Pacific trains traveling through breathtaking landscapes.
Guests are invited to explore One-Track Mind, then join internationally acclaimed photographer Blair Bunting for an evening exploring creativity, perspective and the stories that connect us. Doors open at 5 p.m., with snacks and beverages available for purchase before the evening’s program. Bunting’s presentation begins at 6:30 p.m.
The Durham Museum’s participation in the Common Senses Festival reflects its ongoing commitment to creating engaging and accessible experiences for visitors of all ages and abilities.

“Common Senses is grateful to The Durham Museum’s staff for their enthusiasm in creating such a welcoming environment for all of our train enthusiasts and their families,” said festival founder Kate Weitz. “From the stunning Art Deco Great Hall and fabulous model train exhibit to the retired Pullman car to explore, Common Senses couldn’t have dreamed up a better location to highlight the 2026 festival’s preferred interest: trains.”
