In a book that TRAINS Magazine calls "... like sitting around with an old head (Conductor) and shooting the breeze. Entertaining and relaxing," 24 year railroad Conductor & Author, Ken "The Sheriff" Lothridge, takes you inside the cab of the locomotive, on board Amtrak's passenger trains, and inside the cabooses of days gone by, with a heart warming collection of stories from his days as a Brakeman and Conductor on the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Amtrak. There are short stories about the life and times of Conductors and Engineers performing their day to day tasks on the rails. This is a touching collection of stories about how the railroad began, strange and crazy things that happen, bad wrecks, dangers of the job, animals, how the weather effects trains, drugs and alcohol and the beauty and the tragedy of working the rails. This collection of true life stories will leave you howling with laughter, scratching your head in amazement and in a few instances, a little squeamish, but will never leave you wondering just what it is really like to work on America's railroads. If you are a Railroader, Railroad enthusiast, or simply don't care for trains but enjoy a good story, this book is a must have for your library.
