Charles Geletzke 234 pages softcover
The fourth volume in a series of True Railroad Stories...most will leave
you laughing, some will have you shivering in terror! All, will leave
you begging for more! Every one is told by a professional
railroader...some who worked with steam, and others up to and including
young Millennials today, who are working with "short crews," Trip
Optimizer, Smart Consist, and PTC (Positive Train Control). Climb aboard
and learn what it is like to drag up-hill with only point six
horsepower per ton or to be chased downhill by 13,000 Tons! See the
difference from an era when the conductor was in charge of his train and
his crew, compared to modern day, where an engineman is continuously
monitored by closed-circuit tv and computer and both must continually
look over his/her shoulder! Yes, this is RAILROADING!
