I am happy to see Mr. Dactyl in the right kind of print: Something to slip into a daypack. May he have many more beautiful and infamous rail adventures and tell us all about them, before or after he loses his legs." - William T. Vollmann "Freight trains were a huge part of my life for ten years. I painted them, studied them, benched them and got excited every time I found a new set of tracks to explore. I never rode a train or honestly had the desire.

Making books like this is a labor of love and the creator really has outdone himself." - Roger Gastman,Freight Train Graffiti andStreet World "
