Ed King book

[NW Modeling List]

It was not N&W, but " Behind the iron horse: The people who made the trains run in the Bellows Falls, Vermont, area (1941-1980) "
by Giro R. Patalano is a good read.  Not sure how easy it is to find a copy (published in 1997, but small number).
 
Louis Newton's four volumes are also insightful, although not quite the same.  I like the descriptions of personal experience working in the industry. 
 
These are the books that got me to reserve a copy of Mr. King's book.

We can all (almost all?) regurgitate driver diameters and tender sizes and rivet patterns, but I have almost no idea what a day in the life of a railroader was like in days of steam.
