Niemann's tales of exhaustion, alcoholism, homelessness, and corporate blundering present a revelatory account of railroading life. Photographer Joel Jensen realizes Niemanns vision of the working West with images of cowboy bars, blue motels, and railroaders working in electrical storms, white-outs, and desert heat waves. The result is an honest, gritty, and striking collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51916156993824,"sku":"NEW0253354463","price":162.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/railroad-noir-the-american-west-at-the-end-of-the-twentieth-century-railroads-past-and-present-0253354463","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
