Steve Manning's Site (StationWagon.com) is great. In addition numerous web
sites (you will find a link to my old Web Page "Why the Sudden Popularity of
Station Wagons" on Steve's links page) there are books about Station Wagons,
as well. I own "Station Wagon: A Tribute to America's Workaholic on
Wheels." Anyway, you are correct. Station Wagon makes reference to train
stations and supercedes the term Depot Hack that refers to train depots.
