This book was released on 2022-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the widespread popularity of automobiles, buses, and trucks, freight and passenger trains bound the nation together. The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience explores the role of local frontline workers that kept the country's vast rail network running. Virtually every community with a railroad connection had a depot and an agent. These men and occasionally women became the official representatives of their companies and were highly respected. They met the public when they sold tickets, planned travel itineraries, and reported freight and express shipments. Additionally, their first-hand knowledge of Morse code made them the most informed in town. But as times changed, so did the role of, and the need for, the station agent. Beautifully illustrated with dozens of vintage photographs, The Station Agent and the American Railroad Experience, brings back to life the day-to-day experience of the station agent and captures the evolution of railroad operations as technology advanced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charlie Harrison, a former hobo, in his late fifties is settling down to work as a janitor at Idaho State College in Pocatello, Idaho. He has built a cabin on an acreage near the top of Scout Mountain, ten miles south of town, and lives there with his dog Colby. His nephew, Jim Harrison, is intrigued by the Idaho Stories of his Uncle, and upon obtaining his Ph. D. takes his first job as a physics professor at Idaho State. At first to earn needed money, Charlie also has a weekend job on a potato field. Jim discovers that the soil that his uncle tracks in from the field is radioactive and that starts Jim wondering about the possibility of the nearby National Reactor Testing Station (the "Site") polluting the neighboring country side with stray radioactive waste. Jim becomes even more interested when his Uncle takes a job a the Site because it pays more than the two jobs he had. Pressures to develop research lead Jim to visit scientists at the Site, where Jim becomes convinced that an employee there has been intentionally following him. Investigating this, leads Jim to have adventures that become increasingly complex and involve the CIA. One evening while visiting his uncle on Scout Mountain, Jim and Charlie are shot at by an unknown person. However they both suspect that the person driving the car that has followed Jim on several occasions is the shooter. It slowly becomes evident that the shooter is possibly a Soviet spy who Uncle Charlie had briefly encountered in his wandering past. It seems possible this spy is engaged in trying to sabotage the US nuclear effort during this time of the cold war. A CIA operative advises Jim as to the dangers of his inadvertent involvement, and the story reaches a crescendo when the spy again tries to shoot Uncle Charlie on Scout Mountain. Colby takes the spy down. These events lead Uncle Charlie to become disgusted with his settled life and he goes back on the road, leaving Colby with Jim.

Download or read book Ghosts of Pocatello written by John Brian and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A small Idaho town with larger-than-life spirits is investigated by a founding member of the Scientific Paranormal Investigative Research Organization. From the Native American tribes who first inhabited the land to the gold rush prospectors who flocked to the burgeoning town in the 1860s, Pocatello’s legacy is defined by fascinating historical figures and colorful characters. But many restless souls from the city’s past refuse to fade quietly into history. Join author John Brian as he records the voices and visions that haunt Pocatello today. Whether it’s the long-dead theater devotee who still attends shows at Frazier Hall, the specter of a woman who evaded a judge at the Bannock County Courthouse, or the many spirits that haunt a farm built on sacred Shoshoni tribal land, this collection proves that the Gate City is flooded with ghosts. Includes photos! “The stories in the book, Brian explains, are not reminiscent of exaggerated late-night horror flicks, but rather, the real life stories from the people who experienced them.” —Idaho State Journal

Download or read book I Never Worked in Pocatello written by Paul T. Collins and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Paul T. Collins's life working on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, I Never Worked In Pocatello —The Life and Times of Santa Fe Railroad's Paul T. Collins, is the story of the changes in railroading from the end of the Nineteenth Century to past the middle of the Twentieth Century.Collins had the railroad and railroad wanderlust in his blood. His father spent his career working for railroads. Paul started at the age of sixteen as a station attendant for the Katy, the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, working twenty-four hours a day. His career path took him to:• Walsenburg, Colorado, where he learned many of the fundamentals of the railroad business and married his first wife, a woman who he had nicknamed “Old Sour Face.”• Pueblo, Colorado, where he and his family lived through the devastating flood of 1921 that killed hundreds (many swept so far away their bodies were never found) and meant rebuilding the tracks.• Kansas City, where he tried his hand at business but his dream of selling concrete wall form ties nationally, perhaps internationally, was killed by Black Thursday and The Great Depression.• Dodge City, Kansas, where he tried to reconcile differences with his first wife, but it was futile, and they soon divorced.• Chicago, where he served as the assistant to J.J. Mahoney, general railroad superintendent. This job brought Collins immense job and personal satisfaction as he investigated train timing and car content. He also spent considerable time investigating the business of carrying cattle on the railroads and the rates charged for transporting cattle.• Winslow, Arizona, where he oversaw the double tracking of twenty-one important miles and solved a longstanding bottleneck for the Santa Fe. In Winslow he fell in love with and courted his second wife.• San Bernardino, California, during World War II where Santa Fe railroad men suffered physical as well as nervous breakdowns and died from the work overload brought on by the crush of handling two transcontinental railroads with freight and passengers.• Wellington, Kansas, where his youngest daughter was born and he, along with his wife, became active in community affairs.• Amarillo, Texas, his final stop while working with the Santa Fe where he served as rules examiner for the railroad, creating new and better rules while butting heads with his fellow examiners, and sometimes his superiors. He ended his fifty-one years of service with the Santa Fe at this station.Immediately following his retirement, Collins took his wife for an extensive European tour. Always the railroader, part of the tour was spent on trains and talking about the difference between European and American trains with fellow railroaders.The railroads changed over the many decades Paul T. Collins worked on the Santa Fe. He changed with them, from a callow but strong youth moving freight to a middle-aged divorcée overseeing double tracking that moved the trains faster and, finally, to a senior rules examiner who retired after making the railroad safer for all.
