The Life of a Locomotive Engineer

<p>This book is an account of my experiences growing up in the Southern Appalachian Mountains about exciting situations I found my self in as a pilot and aircraft owner for 20 some years. Also many times I have been asked about the operations of a railroad. I have tried in this book to relate some of these operations while telling what goes on in the cab and the sights that are seen through a locomotive windshield. I have also related some of the narrow escapes and dangerous situations I have found myself in as an Engineer for forty years. Sometimes it was humorous sometimes scary sometimes deadly. </p><p>So all you guys and gals who always thought you wanted to be a locomotive engineer let me tell you about what you missed. In some instances you'll be glad you did.</p>
