This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written from the perspective of one on the inside, the reader is given short true glimpses of what it is like to be a "working railroader." Here you will have a view not only from the seat of a locomotive or the rear platform of a caboose; but you will see the railroad looking up from the inspection pits of the roundhouse and the locomotive shop, from an operator's desk in an interlocking tower, looking over the shoulder of a night train dispatcher, a trackman sweeping switches, and we'll harass crews from a managerial point of view, just for the fun of it..."because we can!" The author has always admired the style of O. Henry and loves to conclude with that surprise ending! This is not your typical railroad picture book; instead you will find enough material to hold your attention while you are flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D. C. and hopefully create a desire for more! Yes, this is just a collection of short stories...every one of them true...and some are even written in blood! Enjoy!

Book excerpt: Cy Warman (June 22, 1855 - April 7, 1914) was an American journalist and author known during his life by the appellation "The Poet Laureate of the Rockies".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Right. Well, the parallel-veined leaves belong to the sort of plants which have only one seed-leaf or cotyledon, and we call them monocotyledonous plants; and the netted-veined leaves belong to and distinguish those with two cotyledons, and are called dicotyledonous plants. Now notice that a leaf has three parts: a blade, the broad thin part, a petiole, or, as you would call it, the stem-stalk, which supports it; and, as you see in these quince leaves, there is also a pair of small leaf-like appendages which are called stipules. All leaves do not have these, and some have no petioles. In such cases we say the leaf is sessile, and sessile means sitting; and we shall find the word used in regard to other parts of the plant as we go on in our study. This quince, and also the apple leaf, have one large vein running through the middle as if the petiole were extended to the tip or apex of the leaf. This sends off branches, and these in turn break into smaller ones until the leaf is all over network. It is tilled in with a green pulp and covered with a thin skin called the epidermis.” “Why, we had that word in physiology,” exclaimed one of the listeners. “It means the same as cuticle or outside skin.” “Exactly; so you see we have in the blade the fibrous framework or skeleton, the pulpy filling, and the transparent covering.” Charlie had been listlessly fingering a leaf, seemingly not interested in the talk, but at this moment he started up, exclaiming, “I know how to make skeleton leaves! You just put the leaf into some kind of acid—I have forgotten the name, that eats out the pulp and leaves the framework—sister Anna has a whole lot of them.” “Yes; and if we had one here we could see the method of veining very plainly. In the parallel-veined leaves all the larger ribs run lengthwise, and there are no branching veins which you can see plainly, only very small vein-lets. Now just a glance at the leaves of a plant or tree will tell you to which of two great divisions the plant or tree belongs.” “I did not suppose there could be so much to say about leaves,” said Ella, turning her leaf over and looking curiously at it. Mrs. Browne smiled. “We have only just begun to examine them. We might find things enough about them to fill a great many morning hours. We might talk about the shapes. We have: ovate and lanceolate, oblong and orbicular and a great many more you might find it hard to remember. Then the margins. Some are entire, that is, even, not notched, and others—but look for yourselves and find out the differences.” “This willow is notched, and so is the elm leaf,” said Charley, growing interested. “But are they alike?” “No; the elm has what I should call double notches.” “Exactly; one is serrate or saw-toothed, the other double serrate...FROM THE BOOKS.
