Folklore of the Canadian Railroader: An Environmental Approach to Steam Age Worlds - Countryman, Jack

Clean, tight, unmarked; some light scratches to covers; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This new railroad approach is the finest book ever written on rail life in Canada. It takes a different approach to the past and future lives of our world because the steam age is seen in a different context to civilization. The environment is not secondary in this treatment. The author tells his experiences on the tracks during the steam period but also writes essays on how this age will never be part of our 21st century. In this exciting approach we hear the lingo of old time railroaders; then we swing into high spirits showing how the next century may appear in contrast to the thrilling, clanking sounds of yard storms dragging cars through yesterdays fields and hills. This book will be an enjoyable read for people interested int he past, present and future.
