This lithigraphic print was created by the artist after returning to New Britain, CT after the war.  It depicts him on the train with a fellow G.I. and friend, back to the Little Poland neighborhood from which they came.  It also hints at Vincent's early signs of PTSD and the serious depression he would suffer in reaction to the war.
