Kalmbach Tales of the Rails

Description

Every rail enthusiast has imagined it - climbing into the cab of a steam locomotive and pulling open the throttle, or sitting at a dispatcher’s console as trains race across a busy main line. With Tales of the Rails, you can come closer than ever before! This book brings together 46 first-hand accounts from professional railroaders sharing stories about their jobs. Some funny, some tragic, and some nerve-wracking, but always entertaining and informative. Pulled from the pages of Trains and Classic Trains magazines, these stories span the age of steam into the 1970s. 304 Pages
