Download or read book Go Ahead and Backup and Other Railroad Stories written by Charles H Geletzke, Jr and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of eighty true railroad short stories, photographs, and maps from the era of the Great Depression through the present day. These stories in the steam and diesel era were all written and told by professional railroaders and took place in North America. Here you will "hire-on" as a young kid right out of high school, work the Brakemen's Extra Board while attending college, serve as a railroad manager, fire steam during the Great Depression, work as a Locomotive Engineer on several major railroads, dispatch trains, and sometimes dread going to work because the new young managers are "trying to make a name for themselves!" Yes, all of these well documented tales illustrate what it was like to be a REAL RAILROADER in an industry that never got boring!
Book Synopsis When Deadhead Counted as Rest and Other Railroad Stories by : Charles Geletzke
Download or read book When Deadhead Counted as Rest and Other Railroad Stories written by Charles Geletzke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. 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!

Book Synopsis Railroad Stories From The EJ&E Railroad and a Few Others by : William O'Neal Stringer
Download or read book Railroad Stories From The EJ&E Railroad and a Few Others written by William O'Neal Stringer and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Railroad Stories describes my start on the EJ&E Railroad, from the very beginning, and it includes all my trials and tribulations. The heart of the book is in the 150 stories of events and employees within the EJ&E Railroad. The cover picture depicts a Red Wing Blackbird, sitting on my hand, inside the cab of a moving locomotive. This was a very special moment for both of us. I worked with numerous men at EJ&E, over my 33 years, and you could best describe them as "Railroad Characters." You would have to work 100 different jobs in your lifetime to meet such a diverse array of people. According to one reader, "The book is a good read and will provide insight into what is really going on with the crews and the work that they do. If you were not there on the inside to appreciate how things played out, you can read this book and get all that special inside information."

Though similar to the first eight books in the chain, the author's wife declares this volume to be much more personal! Yes, it is a collection of all true railroad tales; however, this one delves more into why the author changed jobs several times during his railroad career and why a railroader's lifestyle can be so tough on his or her family! Once again, most of the tales are humorous; but then there are those that will make you wonder if you want to take that call to go back to work later that evening!?! Please grab your lantern, pack your grip, and bring along a good sized lunch to accompany the author and a number of his friends as they tell their accounts of working in various railroad crafts and managerial positions and railfanning in various parts of this great Nation! I hope you enjoy the journey!?!
