Title: go west or east by rail
Review: This book is worth having just for the photographs alone,my favourite chapter is the men who made the trains go,it was a dangerous occupation in 1888 2,070 railroadmen were killed and 20,148 injured,its not surprising when you learn a brake man for instance had to jump from car to car in icy weather to apply the brakes and risk being shot at by drunk cowboys when going through cow towns,but no matter once a man had made up his mind there was no stopping him working for the railroad for all the danger it was a dream job.There are some truly exciting stories of runaway trains and of life and death on the western railways if you are a western buff or railway enthusiast this book is for you.
