This book, a historical look at railroad fires, goes into the weeds on a topic that has been mostly forgotten by the modern world: how railroads, once the gleaming symbol of industrial progress, were also major sources of devastating forest fires. The author, an expert on U.S. Forest Service fire control, was able to dig deep into the history of railroads, re-examining the role that trains played in some of the nation's most destructive fires. From there, he was able to distill best practices, technological innovations, and policy changes that helped the railroad industry play a more responsible role in preserving the nation's forests. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers, from railroad buffs to historians, and will change the way we think about the history of railroads and their impact on the environment.
