Travelling continuously from one American train station to another, Jarret Schecter photographed every image in this book from the views of his cabin window.

People, places, towns, emptiness - all aboard Amtrak, the national but surprisingly dilapidated rail service of the US. In a country where the majority of people travel by plane or bus, travelling by train is an underused phenomenon which is cheaper and often more efficient than is realised.

presents a unique landscape and perspective of the country, on an amazing photographic journey from the Wild West, through the eery and empty, to the bustling cities of the East. Every picture through the window of a train.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
