Join award-winning author William Kalt for an exciting journey through the Age of Steam Locomotives in one southwestern railroad town. As much a part of Western lore as the American Cowboy, railroaders built towns like Tucson, Arizona across the West. Their special culture bred myths and legends that survive today in story and song. Jump aboard for a ride across an epoch now fifty years behind us.
Using 400 never-before-published photographs and personal anecdotes, the book tells of the camaraderie, tragedy, human drama, heroic actions, and just plain hard work that characterized this historic era.
