DEAD UNDER HIS CAB

And More Old Time Railroad Stories, with Introductions and Editorial Notes by the Author

The late 19th Century and early 20th Century marked an era of significant transition, for what form of transportation could compete with the railroad? Certainly it was the ultimate means of moving people and goods! Could steamboats compete? Or horses? or Steam tractors or Air Ships? The coming age of the automobile, though poised to make a monumental change, had not fully developed when the last of our stories was penned. The stories offered here, even those written as newspaper copy, or taken from journals and trade magazines, were generally meant as entertainment, first and foremost. But all have some basis in fact, and in that regard may be historically compelling. They open a pattern of life that is no more. ~ Michael Gillespie, Author.

very good collection of early 20th century railroading history!

only thing that disappoints me is it is AI narrated. The AI does a pretty good job but occasionally pauses in a couple of spots
