Railroading through the Ages
An excellent source of grass roots railroading information written by someone who rose from the bottom of the industry to the executive board rooms.
How it was in the early days, before diesels, airbrakes and radios. Everything was done the old fashioned way, with men and sweat.
Good background for understanding how railroads worked at the turn of the 20th century and some of the jobs that these railroaders did to keep freight and passengers rolling.
