This is a booklet that I am sure was available at an art exhibit. This exhibit is unique as it focused on the railroad. Livingston must have a long history with the railroad. The booklet includes artwork as well as poems. There are views of scenes from the railroad car, pictures of trains, Those who waited for a ride, those who worked on the trains, and raffic effected by the trains.

They dug for the bones of the earth
clinging to darkness
Meanwhile people built homes, raised kids of corn
The ore-filled railcars rolling east
spreading the darkness
Meanwhile some people died, some were born
The big shovels scraped & gnashed--came up empty
holding only darkness
Meanwhile the people stood with hands outstretched
Looking into the darkness of yet another American dream
Marc Beaudin from Vagabond Song.
