One for the books.

We recently made a trip out to Colorado for a few days to document some things.

If you know anyone who knows anyone that was subcontracted by Progress Rail to scrap the 1960-1965 fleet of D&RGW 50’ boxcars in Colorado during the 1990s, please reach out to me.

Thanks!

Hey, folks! We’ve had our hands full with a newborn this past month, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of things.

I’d redrawn, laid out, and had these graphics ready a few months ago. Finally got a few days in the shop, managed to get these printed, folded, and ready to go.

Some footage from when my dad and I visited the Mississippi Central Railroad down in Holly Springs back around ‘04 or ‘05.

At the time that these hi8 tapes were converted in early 2021, this was the first time I’d heard my dad’s voice in almost a decade.

Apparently CSXT 5959 still lives on with Pickens Railway in South Carolina.

Hey, y’all! Many people were asking about an RBOX t-shirt.. So we’ve finally delivered.

This graphic was started in September of 2024 and completed in early 2026. This is a DFA original piece, with an estimated 18-22 hours alone spent on drawing, separating it into layers, and turning it into printable graphics.

Six colors printed on Comfort Colors 1717 white and ivory t-shirts. There are also a handful of tall sizes on white Gildan 2000T t-shirts. Limited numbers available, item will not be restocked.

Designed, printed, and shipped from Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

We’ve also got a recent publication, DFA Vol 1, that is a collaborative effort from multiple people across the railroading, rail fan, graffiti, and moniker communities.

Thanks, y’all!

It’s about time we show the northeast some love with this double drop.

We’re excited to introduce our MEC Waterville Shops t-shirt. This graphic is actually pulled from two seprate photos we shot between Belfast and Thorndike, Maine during the late summer of 2025.

Also featuring a heavily weathered left chest logo, this graphic was pulled from a pretty beat up 1955 MEC time table that we came across in an antique shop in Bangor.

While the Maine Central Paul Bunyan stencil came from the Waterville Shops, we also incorporated the classic, “The Pine Tree Route” slogan and logo behind it.

And second, we’ve got the first of a three part PC series - the Hudson Division t-shirt. With a psychedelic font and summertime vibe, the art was pulled together from a few different pieces of 1968 PC ephemera and pamphlets to create this graphic.

These are both printed on Comfort Colors 1717 heavy weight t-shirts.

Limited numbers are available.

Designed, printed, and shipped from Memphis, Tennessee, USA.

We did a pretty big cross country camping trip back in September of 2024.

Visiting and photographing these two particular 60’ double plug door high cube Great Northern boxcars were the basis for this trip. At the time, I knew there was one outside of Great Falls and another outside of Pasco.

Shout out to Betty for inviting us onto the property, talking, and letting us take photos.

And shout out to Evan, pictured in the last slide, for showing us around Pasco and taking us to a fire breakfast joint.

By the time we made it home, it had been twenty one days, and we’d covered over 7,000 miles.
