Saturday, January 29, 2005 = Hogue Boarding House. Approximate 50 drawings with that caption, on a train parked south of the crossover, at Tater House Crossing, and a cut out of Shreveport set out on the New yard lead.
Location: Surrealville, Principality of buZ, United States
I'm a retired railroad man who indulged in the folk art tradition of making chalk drawings on the railcars as an announcement of presence, and diversion from boredom. Although against the rules of the railroad, it was a common enough practice by the employees and hobos, by ignoring enforcement it was de facto tacit approval, for I dispatched drawings for 32 years of my 41 years of employment without interference. The initial purpose of this blog is to record the language used in my frequent boxcar icon dispatches.
