Synopsis

Aaron Dactyl is a photo journalist who describes himself as a 'hobo'. He has spent the last decade travelling around the US by freight train, here he describes the summer he spent riding trains between Portland and Northern California. From the exhausting waits in sparse canyons and breezy summer rides into Eugene, Aaron makes this journey into a grand adventure. Dactyl also includes fascinating local articles and photos about the railroads: shipping rubbish to landfills by train, Junction City's lawsuit against the rail company and a horrific encounter with a landslide.
