Product Description

My Life on the L.I.R.R.: Memories of a Steam Locomotive Engineer

Here is an "inside view" of what really went on in the steam locomotive days! Retired locomotive engineer Mark E. Smith, who ran steam, diesel and electric locomotives on the Long Island Railroad from 1943 to 1976, reveals glimpses of the day-to-day operation of a mainline commuter railroad in the glory days of steam! Lighthearted, easy reading chapters with photographs take the reader back in the work force of mid-century railroaders and give the kind of insights and stories that only a 90-year-old retiree could give. Mark was there, and he brings us nearly there as he relates his story in an easy cadence.
