Realistic railroad story

If you are a fan of "workplace" shows like "The Deadliest Catch" or "Dirty Jobs," or you're a railfan, or (like me) you're a railfan *and* a fan of "Deadliest Catch," this is the book for you. Mr. McGinley is an experienced railroader, and it shows. His description of life on a financially-distressed carrier circa 1980 will feel exactly right to anyone who was there. He uses correct terminology and correct operating procedures throughout--something missing from far too much fiction involving railroads--and the down-and-dirty details of cleaning up a derailment are made fascinating.
