FROM THE BOOK
Go Ahead - Easy
This is an album -
an account of personal experiences
and impressions
gained through my encounters with The Iron Horse -as a kid along a Kansas branchline -as a half baked hobo and eventually as an engineman.
The presentations is as homespun and unsophisticated as were the circumstances from which the material was taken and as was the taker. It is my hope that by presenting these images I will better the preservation of the aura of The Iron Horse for you as well as for myself. Go ahead - easy and enjoy.
