Download or read book Coal Trains written by Brian Solomon and published by Voyageur Press. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first, U.S. railroads have carried coal from mines to docks, steel mills, and power plants across the country. In this authoritative book spanning the whole of that history, from the mid-nineteenth century to present, noted rail author Brian Solomon explores the railroads and hardware that have transported the fossil fuels that made America work. Brilliant period and contemporary photographs convey the drama of the enterprise: the very long—and very heavy—trains powering up mountain grades and thundering across barren prairies. At sites from the eastern and western U.S., past and present, readers see giant double-headed Norfolk and Western steam locomotives moving Appalachian coal in Virginia; modern CSX diesels dragging unit coal trains over the well-groomed former Chesapeake & Ohio main line; BNSF’s SD70MACs with more than 100 hoppers in tow; Rio Grande locomotives snaking through the Rocky Mountains; and coal trains working full-throttle up Colorado’s Tennessee Pass, cresting the Continental Divide at 10,000 feet above sea level. Taking up topics ranging from the colorful but now-defunct “anthracite roads” of eastern Pennsylvania to today’s AC-traction diesels that work Wyoming’s thriving Powder River Basin, Solomon reveals how for 150 years the unique demands of coal—and America’s demand for coal—have prompted new railroad technologies.

This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written from the perspective of one on the inside, the reader is given short true glimpses of what it is like to be a "working railroader." Here you will have a view not only from the seat of a locomotive or the rear platform of a caboose; but you will see the railroad looking up from the inspection pits of the roundhouse and the locomotive shop, from an operator's desk in an interlocking tower, looking over the shoulder of a night train dispatcher, a trackman sweeping switches, and we'll harass crews from a managerial point of view, just for the fun of it..."because we can!" The author has always admired the style of O. Henry and loves to conclude with that surprise ending! This is not your typical railroad picture book; instead you will find enough material to hold your attention while you are flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D. C. and hopefully create a desire for more! Yes, this is just a collection of short stories...every one of them true...and some are even written in blood! Enjoy!
Download or read book The Sunset Route written by Carrot Quinn and published by Dial Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unforgettable story of one woman who leaves behind her hardscrabble childhood in Alaska to travel the country via freight train—a beautiful memoir about forgiveness, self-discovery, and the redemptive power of nature, perfect for fans of Wild or Educated. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER • “An urgent read. A courageous life. Quinn’s story burns through us and bleeds beauty on every page.”—Noé Álvarez, author of Spirit Run: A 6,000-Mile Marathon Through North America’s Stolen Land After a childhood marked by neglect, poverty, and periods of homelessness, with a mother who believed herself to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, Carrot Quinn moved out on her own. She found a sense of belonging among straight-edge anarchists who taught her how to traverse the country by freight trains, sleep in fields under the stars, and feed herself by foraging in dumpsters. Her new life was one of thrilling adventure and freedom, but still she was haunted by the ghosts of her lonely and traumatic childhood. The Sunset Route is a powerful and brazenly honest adventure memoir set in the unseen corners of the United States—in the Alaskan cold, on trains rattling through forests and deserts, as well as in low-income apartments and crowded punk houses—following a remarkable protagonist who has witnessed more tragedy than she thought she could ever endure and who must learn to heal her own heart. Ultimately, it is a meditation on the natural world as a spiritual anchor, and on the ways that forgiveness can set us free.
