What was it like to begin working on the railroad over fifty years ago? Hired at eighteen, the train yard was an initiation into a world of rough language and lusty men who laughed too loud and drank too much, men with wild lifestyles. Unforgettable characters live again in these pages. This book takes the reader on a personal journey from switching boxcars in the heart of Los Angeles to unforgettable road trips as a freight and passenger brakeman. Find out what it was like to work trains winding around Tehachapi Loop or skirting the Pacific coastline. Experience becoming a locomotive engineer and spending a quarter century at the throttle. Climb aboard ninety-mile-an-hour diesels for adventures that take you on exciting trips over Cajon Pass and across the Mojave Desert. Read more
