TheLexingtonQuarterly,March 2007 "Working on the Railroadis a thorough explanation of all the jobs that comprise railroad operations and how those jobs have evolved over time. Solomon takes pains to explain the very complex tasks of railroading in terms a layman can understand, and he also glosses important rail terminology. This book would be a wonderful introduction to the world of railroading for young adults, railroad buffs, interested readers, and it would also appeal to the railroad worker, particularly those workers who need to explain their world to spouses and relatives.", National Railway Bulletin," Winter 2006 " In this latest volume from Voyageur Press, Brian Solomon concentrates on the employees whose efforts and labor make the railroad a living entity.

Synopsis
The notion of working on a railroad has always carried its share of romance, taking in everything from the dreams of small boys to legends like John Henry and Casey Jones. The reality is far more complicated and often, as this book amply demonstrates, more interesting. This richly illustrated volume takes us behind the scenes to show what goes into keeping a railroad running in our era of computer-aided 6,000-horsepower diesel locomotion. Author and photographer Brian Solomon explains who does what and how, from dispatching and signaling to maintaining locomotives and driving trains. Everything it takes to keep a railroad running smoothly and safely—the daily decisions, the procedures that must be followed, the lowdown on track maintenance—comes clearly into view as Solomon gives readers both a seat in the locomotive and the dispatcher's view. Into this larger account he weaves anecdotes from railroad workers as well as the historical evolution of railway vocations, with descriptions of how each job has changed over time as well as marvelous archival imagery that illustrates these developments., This illustrated book explains what goes into keeping a railroad running today, with brief histories of each job and anecdotes from railroad workers., The notion of working on a railroad has always carried its share of romance, taking in everything from the dreams of small boys to legends like John Henry and Casey Jones.
