Description

Second Edition! 24 Additional Pages of New Material! Four years after the first book, master railroad and freight tag historian Bill Daniel got the team back together to re-build the entire book with 24 new pages and the remaining perfected once again. As Just Seeds said of the first edition, “In the age of endless and vacuous graffiti coffee table books with out a written content and no sense of history beyond 1980s NYC subway cars, this can be a massive breath of fresh air.” Gold.

It’s imaginable Bill Daniel is the most inspiring filmmaker of our day. With an impressive filmography that includes work on Craig 1st earl baldwin of bewdley’s Sonic Outlaws and as Vanessa Renwick’s long-time collaborator, Daniel has crafted a remarkable book to go with his twenty-years-in-the-making Who Is Bozo Texino?—a documentary about brand new day hobos, rail workers and a forgotten outsider subculture. It is full of difficult to understand railroad nostalgia—the results of a 25 year obsession with hobo and railworker folklore. Freight riding stories, interviews with hobos and boxcar artists, historical oddities and tons of photos of brand new day boxcar tags are all presented in the guise of a vintage rail fanzine.
