Photojournalist D. C. Jesse Burkhardt crosses into a new dimension in a continuing exploration of the heart and soul of North America's railroads. Freight Weather, Burkhardt's third book, concludes an unanticipated trilogy that began with Backwoods Railroads in 1994, accelerated into fresh terrain with Rolling Dreams in 1997, and culminates with this volume. Over a seven-year span, Burkhardt's focus has shifted from primarily detailing the history and business operations of selected rail lines. Here, he offers a more literary and soulful vision of the essence of his attachment to the tracks and trains that reach across the land, completing the chain with writing and photography that celebrates trains as the ultimate form of overland travel. In five chapters, Burkhardt offers a photographic tour that begins in the Columbia River Gorge and stretches to the Upper Midwest, the West Coast, and Western Canada. He ends the book -- and finishes a series of narratives and essays about railroad wanderings -- in tiny Lind, Washington.
