Scope and Contents

This scrapbook documents an attempt to hitch a freight train from Toronto to Vancouver in order to relive an adventure of 1976-8. The text which was printed entirely with rubberstamping is a tour de force in this media. A series of debacles led the adventurers to a neighborhood just outside Toronto rather than their goal. The collaged elements of the book are photocopied colored handwritten notes and color photographs of the journey. An appendix is provided as a guide to others for such trips. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
