Larry Donovan’s job is wiping Engine 331, the biggest passenger puller on the Nevada Short Line, and he wants far more. Out in Tourmaline Canyon the railroad is driving tunnels and fighting the crawling shale of Bull Peak, and between a breach of discipline, an uninvited special train and a desperate rescue of men trapped underground, Larry and his friends get their chance to prove themselves.
A vigorous railroad story by a master of the genre, full of the practical heroics of mountain engineering. Download the free EPUB.
