INSCRIBED BY KARL OLAFSON on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light edge wear to dust jacket; otherwise absolute minimal wear; Karl Olafson was born in Sioux Lookout, ON, in 1930, the son of Swedish immigrants. He recounts his experiences growing up at isolated whistle stops during the steam era, and provides details of track and roadway maintenance in the wilds of northwestern Ontario. The author relates his encounters with violence and crime as a taxi driver in Winnipeg, his experiences as a Forest Ranger in northwestern Ontario, as a drapery installer, and then as a railway extra gang timekeeper. His career with the CNR spanned thirty years, where he worked without missing one day due to the medical condition for which he had originally been turned down.
