| Publisher Description: Susie Gaglia reminisces about fulfilling her childhood dream with her career as railroad engineer for passenger and freight trains along the Northeast Corridor during the mid twentieth century. Beginning with her upbringing in a suburb of Buffalo through the process of qualifying to operate locomotives to vignettes from her fifteen-year career, Susie remembers kind mentors, close encounters on the tracks, near misses, massive accidents, and moments of sexual harassment as she fulfilled an American railroad dream. |
