Book excerpt: Excerpt from Long Look House: A Book for Boys and Girls Another of the sounds that reach Long Look comes from the freight yard of the great railway beyond both river and meadow. There, where the lay of the land gives a chance for it, the two tracks are split up into twenty or thereabouts, and there, by means of other tracks connecting with other roads that enter the city, freight trains are made up or broken up as the case may be. In the day time, when many noises are abroad in the air, and the railway is busiest with bringing passenger trains, there is little or no disturb ance from this source; but at night, when all the rest of the world is still, Max is sometimes awakened by the screeching locomotives and the heavy rumble of freight cars, sounding forth upon the empty air. He listens attentively to the whistles - one for down brakes, two for up brakes, three for take out the pin; and, as he listens, pictures to himself the train stepping, the train moving on, or the train breaking in two as it makes a running switch, until he gets tired of the noise beyond endurance, and falls asleep.

Download or read book The Romance of Modern Railways Classic Reprint written by Thomas W. Corbin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of Modern Railways Flying and flying machines, however, have not and cannot have so many interesting features as are to be found upon engines and trains, with the result that the interest has swung back to the railway, and most boys of to-day are as keen about them as ever their fathers were. It is for such boys that this book is intended more than anyone else, but it is hoped, nevertheless, that it may make an even wider appeal. The writer knows an uncle who regularly buys a certain boys' periodical. He buys it, of course, to give to his nephew, but his friends notice that he always reads it through him self first, and, although this book may be intended for the sons and nephews, it is quite possible that some fathers and uncles may find it to their liking. The writing of it has been a labour of love, and if all readers get the same pleasure in reading it which the writer got in writing it, it is going to add largely to the sum of human happiness.
