Adventure awaits us in our forgotten infrastructures. By re-organizing
the detritus of our overstuffed American dreams we invent new horizons.
Heaps of refuse are accompanied by abandoned dreams. The story of to the
rails is a contemporary Huck Finn lashing logs together to build a raft.
Automobile wheels, airplane seats, and bicycle pedals cobbled together
to make a true American mutt. Take it to the rails to celebrate the end
of the industrial age. Pioneers established the routes for the rails.
The next great American adventure is to explore what they have become.
Forgotten pockets of railroad wind through the backs of towns and into
overgrown outbacks accessible only by rail. What’s been going on out
there? How can we utilize them? Should we preserve our industrial
vacuums? We could be experiencing a lull in a cycle. The revitalization
of rail commerce may be inevitable. Dwindling resources could force more
efficient means of transport. Rails are marvelously low friction and
close coupling of coaches streamlines them. What an opportunity to enjoy
the space between.
