Book Synopsis Set Up Running by : John W. Orr
Book excerpt: A Penn State graduate relates the story of his father, who operated steam-powered trains throughout Central Pennsylvania and South Central New York in the first half of the 20th century. Orr chronicles his first encounter with an auto along the right-of-way; operation of a train in a blizzard; and changes through the roaring 1920s, Depression, and war years. Includes several period photos and a glossary of railroad jargon. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
