45 YEARS OF TRUE RAILROAD STORIES: Told by Engineer John Cockrell
45 Years of True Railroad Stories places you in veteran SP/UP Engineer John Cockrell's seat to experience exactly what he did during his 45 year career as a fireman, switchman, and engineer working for one of the largest railroads and most beloved industries of all time. For over three years, this husband and wife team worked together to document John's stories. He told them as Sheri typed, bringing them closer together. The book contains over 65 stories of real-life trip experiences starting at the Southern Pacific LA Division when John was only 18 years old, and continuing to include trips over Donner Summit, the longest continuous grade from summit to end on the Western side, in the United States ... and much more! This book is meant for sharing. Not only with you, dear reader, but with generations to come. Enjoy the journey!
