| This book
is a true story about the men who climbed into the cabs of huge
steam locomotives and operated them during the age of steam-powered
train travel along the Union Pacific Railroad. The author allows
the reader to peer into both the engine cab and household residence
of a UP employee and his family living in Wyoming during the 1929-1960
era. A second-generation UP railroader, the author joined the
company in 1941 as a 17-year-old fireman in freight service between
Rawlins and Green River. He concluded a 49-year-career with UP
as a senior engineer out of Rawlins in 1990. |
