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.
