Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Second Printing [stated]. 318, [2] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Cover has slight wear and soiling. If your like railroad lore, you'll love this book. It's an anthology of tales told by railroaders - from machinists and telegraphers and gandy dancers to brakemen, engineers, firemen and conductors. Other stories come from hoboes, residents of railroad towns, railway mail sorters, newsboys, surveyors; the vast range of people involved with railroading in the old days demonstrates how central they once were to American life and culture. As the subtitle indicates, Workin' on the Railroad covers the industry from the first American steam locomotive, the Stowbridge Lion, which first steamed on Aug. 8, 1829, to the first diesel locomotives, which went into service in 1934. Editor Robert Reinhardt combed old magazines and newspapers for rail-related reminiscences, which he then assembled into this book, along with some connective commentary. It's a lively and extensive anthology that will delight any railroad buff. Among the contents addressed here in are: Iron Horse, Horatio Allen, John Latrobe, Peter Cooper, Tom Thumb, Technology, Railway Construction, Pathfinders, Locomotives, Firemen, Engineers, Brakemen, Roundhouse, Section Gang, Telegrapher, Mail Service, Restaurants, Switchyards, Tickets, Pullman Cars, Sleeping-car, and Casey Jones.…
