Question albert riley

Hi there
Can anyone help me find out about a painting and its artist, it's a beautiful picture of the steam locomotive "golden arrow". I inherited the painting from my grandad who worked as a porter at victoria station. the picture is by A Riley, I recall my grandad telling me that the artist [A Riley] was also a locomotive driver who painted as a hobby, but im not sure of this? can anyone point me to where i might find out about him. many thanks sgport
