"GO BY RAIL SPRING TOUR 2011
The railroad industry in America has played an immense role in the development and progression of our modern society. Besides its most obvious role as a life line for supplies and sustenance to newly burgeoning towns and industry, it helped spawn an incredible subculture of people, the hobos and tramps of America. These hobos used the trains during the great depression in order to seek work, and a whole society of people grew around the railroads.
We have long been associated with the railways and have produced multiple short films and television programming around the subject of train hopping and have made it our mission to preserve the history of the American train tramp.
We are due to kick off our new GO BY RAIL tour April 01st 2011 in Denver, Co. We have brought together dozens of filmmakers, musicians and artists who produce media around train hopping, hobo culture and railroading to create the ultimate visual dichotomy of this colorful and truly important facet of American history. This will be a national tour stopping in historically significant major rail hub cities across America.
The tour starts in Denver and has over 18 stops along the route, including Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Black Butte, Portland, Seattle, Missoula, Minneapolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York City, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, and Kansas City".
