A Conductor Tells...Unauthorized Train Stories
“A Conductor Tells...UNAUTHORIZED TRAIN STORIES”:
This is a book about my 23 years of railroading on both freight and passenger trains. These are short stories about my life and my fellow co-workers on our job as Conductors and Engineers. It is a 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. Some of the stories will make you laugh, some will make you cry, they will leave you astounded and in some cases leave you in awe. Even if you have never been on a train, or never cared anything about trains, there are stories in this book you will not want to miss.
....Author, Ken Lothridge, Conductor
This is the one you have been waiting for. True stories about what happens to Conductors and Engineers while working on the rails.
