A former locomotive engineer and a fellow writer swap stories of the American railroad: a runaway kid in a roundhouse, an engineer’s Christmas, a peg-legged romance, a train robber called Mormon Joe, and a telegrapher tapping a wire from the top of a pole after a wreck. The talk is shop talk, full of injectors, orders and despatchers.
Authentic railroading fiction for anyone who loves steam and the old West. Download the free EPUB.
