This past July, Devon Hanofski embarked on a three-week exploration of railways in North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California in search of early traces of a form of underground communication known as “monikers” – graffiti left by hobos and tramps on depots, water tanks and under bridges following the expansion of the North American railroad.
