Keith Emmons’ new book titled Who Built the Train Wreck? is now available on Amazon ($19.95) as well as at Waterfront Wonders on Caledonia Street. Keith has written an entertaining recounting how this unusual floating home came about during the early days of the Sausalito waterfront.

Cyra McFadden, waterfront neighbor and author of the Marin County classic, The Serial, commented, “This charmer of a book isn’t about a train wreck, it’s about a dream…. (Keith) has found a railroad car… and sets out to convert it into a boat….The beautiful, fanciful, architectural marvel that’s the Train Wreck now attracts visitors from all over the world, a testimony to “I think I can I think I can…”
