Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 23, 1952. A transcontinental train is stopped cold by a rockslide in a remote Colorado canyon. There’s a murderer aboard, one who has already killed, and will kill again unless stopped. The California Zephyr, with its run from Oakland to Chicago and back, was famous for its Vista-Domes, which provided a 360-degree view of spectacular Western scenery. It was a kind of small city populated by passengers from all walks of life and a large crew whose duty it was to keep them safe. Zephyrette Jill McLeod is the passengers’ primary point of contact. She’s armed for any emergency—with a first-aid kit, a screwdriver, and her knowledge of human nature. But can she figure out a ruthless killer's clever plot in time?

Book excerpt: Railroad detective, Trade Morgan, goes through a midlife crises when his wife divorces him and takes his children to Florida. His employer, Consolidated Southern Railroad, has assigned him to the four-hundred mile area between Las Vegas-Barstow and Needles, known as the "Devil's Triangle." Included in his assigned area is the world famous Cajon Pass, known for its rail grades, design and dangers. After a series of sniper attacks and derailments in the "Devil's Triangle," a secrete train transporting the Army's poison gas to their desert military depot is derailed. The poison gas released in the crash kills many civilians. The Army, FBI, and railroad executives are pressured by the national news media to bring the perpetrators to justice. When the saboteurs kidnap a railroad executive's widow, who Morgan has more than a friendly affection for, the FBI assigns Agent Devera Delaney, an old flame of Morgan's, to help solve the case, adding to his distress. Morgan's life is turned upside down dealing with the women in his life and the attacks on the railroad. As pressure mounts, Morgan and Delaney's personal conflicts exacerbate and their jobs are on the line if they don't solve the cases. In a thrilling chase to the end, they match wits with those responsible and pursue them on the rails from Needles to Cajon Pass, ending in a deadly conclusion.

Book excerpt: "The evolution of railroad safety, Aldrich argues, involved the interplay of market forces, science and technology, and legal and public pressures. He considers the railroad as a system in its entirety: operational realities, technical constraints, economic history, internal politics, and labor management. Aldrich shows that economics initially encouraged American carriers to build and operate cheap and dangerous lines. Only over time did the trade-off between safety and output - shaped by labor markets and public policy - motivate carriers to develop technological improvements that enhanced both productivity and safety."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Death Rode the Rails written by Mark Aldrich and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2006-04-10 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most of the 19th and much of the 20th centuries, railroads dominated American transportation. They transformed life and captured the imagination. Yet by 1907 railroads had also become the largest cause of violent death in the country, that year claiming the lives of nearly twelve thousand passengers, workers, and others. In Death Rode the Rails Mark Aldrich explores the evolution of railroad safety in the United States by examining a variety of incidents: spectacular train wrecks, smaller accidents in shops and yards that devastated the lives of workers and their families, and the deaths of thousands of women and children killed while walking on or crossing the street-grade tracks. The evolution of railroad safety, Aldrich argues, involved the interplay of market forces, science and technology, and legal and public pressures. He considers the railroad as a system in its entirety: operational realities, technical constraints, economic history, internal politics, and labor management. Aldrich shows that economics initially encouraged American carriers to build and operate cheap and dangerous lines. Only over time did the trade-off between safety and output—shaped by labor markets and public policy—motivate carriers to develop technological improvements that enhanced both productivity and safety. A fascinating account of one of America's most important industries and its dangers, Death Rode the Rails will appeal to scholars of economics and the history of transportation, technology, labor, regulation, safety, and business, as well as to railroad enthusiasts.

Since Black Tuesday in '29, companies are closed, men all over the state are out of work, and families are running out of hope. Thirteen-year-old Rudy wants to help but doesn't know where to turn. His father, sullen and withdrawn, spends his time sulking on their front porch. His mother is desperate, not knowing how she will feed and care for her family. When Rudy learns of other boys leaving town and heading west to seek their fortunes, he hops a train figuring at least there will be one less mouth to feed at home. As Rudy lives the hobo life while he "rides the rails" to California, young readers are given a snapshot view and testament of Depression-era America.Writer Dandi Daley Mackall met the real "Ramblin' Rudy" in 2000 and was inspired to capture his story and the spirit of adventure shown by many during the Great Depression.
