Milktrain to Paydirt is an album by Trumans Water. It was released in August 1995 by Homestead Records. It was their first studio album without Glen Galloway (who hed left to form Soul-Junk), and their first album with Kevin Cascell on drums. It was also their last release on the Homestead label. The song "Off-Peak Arson" features Thurston Moore on guitar. Trouser Press described the album: "The herky-jerky rhythms of "Unitraction Bath" and "Mnemonic Elf Lock" pack a particularly potent post-Fall punch, but that's not always enough to offset the self-congratulatory quirkiness that seems so ingrained in the band's approach".
