The Railroaders in a rare little jem! I found my copy years ago on a bargin table and I can assure you that it was every inch a bargin!
The book delivers tales from a broad cross section of people (different jobs, different roads) who were employed as railroaders during the glory years (1910s-1960s) of American railroading. The insights and stories have the effect of transporting you to these other times and places ultimatly giving you the gift of being somewhere where you were not and gaining an understanding and appreciation which would otherwise have been impossible! It's like feeling the cold, driving rain soaking through your clothes without ever leaving your warm, dry easy chair!
Curriously as I write this I am reminded that I usually have some advice for improvement on books to which I have ascribbed 5 stars and yet on this 4 star offering I can think of nothing which Stuart Leuthner could have done differently to improve this delightfully written and nicely ballanced work of perfect non-fiction. Great photos, interesting subjects and pleanty of "take away".....On second thought perhaps this is a 5 star work after all!
