HXBX Zine 3

The Coupler Issue. The third installment of the zine is packed with rich, railway-heavy content, celebrating the art, history, and lore of the tracks. Through Rail Mail, we share real correspondence between railway artists exchanged via Canada Post, offering a glimpse into the underground world of those who leave their mark on the steel giants. We also take an in-depth look at the Christmas train derailment in Langley, BC, uncovering the details of this unexpected disaster. A visual showcase of rolling relics brings old-school, hard-copy photographs of train graffiti to life, preserving the raw beauty of an era before digital documentation. This issue also dives into two legendary tales: the history behind SOLID COLD, one of the most beloved boxcar logos, and the enduring mystery of KILROY WAS HERE, a symbol that has traveled the world through time and war. A must-read for freight enthusiasts, rail riders, and graffiti historians alike.
