Subject: [CBQ] Great Book/Great Reading


 

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.
