Informazioni sul libro
Have you ever imagined the thrill of operating a train? This captivating book takes you on a journey through a remarkable sixteen-year railroad career. It begins with the author's transformative experience at a railroad conductor school in the vibrant city of Cincinnati, Ohio, where the foundations of train operation were established.

The book concludes with a difficult decision to leave the rails, driven by weariness from over-union organizing and a moment of following one's bliss into the world of American folk music. Each chapter illuminates the challenges and triumphs encountered, painting an authentic portrait of a life dedicated to the rails, radical labor music and the union.
