[CBQ] Great Book/Great Reading

[qutlx1@aol.com]

I have no personal interest or involvement in this book....... however  
simply as a recommendation if your interested in reading about RR folklore and  
human side of RRing written on the same level as the great fiction writers 
of  the past pick up a copy of "Snow on the Rails" by Dennis Boyer,Badger  
Books,2003.
 
There isn't a picture in the book but dont worry the author makes you feel  
that not only are you there but you feel the temperature and settings as if 
you  are there.
 
I am only part way thru the book but cant wait to continue  
on........there's chapter on a carman,a tower operator, a drover, a tie  
supplier,etc,etc.etc.
 
The author was a Milw carman for several years and he is dead on in his  
descriptions.The word "dead" is very appropriate as he almost was in the first 
 chapter.
