Railroad Semantics

Devoted to train-hopping, graffiti, and railroad culture, Aaron Dactyl's Railroad Semantics series describes the sights, sounds, successes, and defeats of exploring the western U.S. by freight train. The first four Railroad Semantics books are collected here for the first time. In their pages, you'll see epic, hidden works of art, read up on rail lore and riding tips, meet rail workers and fellow adventurers, and experience the perils and glories of life in rail yards, train cars, small towns, and encampments. Visit Portland, Eugene, Bend, and La Grande Oregon; Sacramento, Redding, Dunsmuir, Fort Bragg, Roseville, and Arcata, California; Pocatello and Nampa Idaho; Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming; Denver, Colorado; Missoula, Montana; Elko, Nevada; and Salt Lake City, Utah, and all the places in between.
