Freight Weather : The Art of Stalking Trains
Reviews
"As always, Burkhardt provides an accurate, lively text and thorough cutlines for the many photographs. But this time he has outdone himself. This time, he has reached down into the human heart and tried to help us understand what it is about trains that creates so visceral a reaction in so many people. Why does the sound of that whistle or horn in the night affect us? Why does the sight of rolling stock produce such unique reactions? This is art and trains unified. If you don't believe such a thing is possible, just look at this book." -- Salem (Ore.) Statesman Journal, June 10, 2001
"Each of Burkhardt's previous books were well written and nicely illustrated, and this volume [FREIGHT WEATHER] is no exception. His writing is insightful, colorful, and grounded in reality ... This volume was unique and refreshing in its approach, and comes highly recommended." -- The Michigan Railfan, July-August 2001
