The profession of working on a railroad is a high-paying, yet quiet and, at times, stressful job. In other words, most people do not hear about the railroad workers like one does when it’s a doctor or a lawyer’s position. However, I had the pleasure of working with drivers, engineers, and conductors of a railroad company. They were some of the more interesting people that I’ve ever met. Armed with some fun ideas about life, their private opinions, and their more hilarious stories to tell; the subject of writing a book came up and things just sort of fell into place. These stories are told by the crews, in their voice. It was fun to write as I was able catch their individual tones and personalities. I truly hope you nd yourself laughing along the way as much as I did while being there with the menfolk.
