Publisher's summary

This is a story of America! An older man, near the end of his days, sees his way of life and the code he follows in danger of disappearing. A younger man, on the brink of a new beginning, cannot embrace it without confronting the traumas of his past. And a maniac is intent on destroying them both.

Bonds are formed, secrets exposed, sacrifices made, trusts betrayed - all against a breathtaking American landscape of promise and peril. Three unforgettable characters, hurtling toward a spellbinding climax where pasts and futures collide and lives hang in the balance.

Capturing the imagination of the railroads

As a kid, I’ve always loved the railroads. And any western that had a railroad in it. I even I won one time in 1947 Lionel railroad set that we would set up every Christmas. It took me two weeks. It was a very large set up. I dreamed of riding lol the rails then. And I truly enjoyed this book. By my friend, Ed Davis. It took me back to dreams. And then it took me with it along the rails as I listened.

Unexpected great story

I putchased this book because my grandfather (born in 1874) had told me stories of him and his friends catching freight trains to get around when he was a young man and I wanted to learm more. This book is much more than that. I will never think of hoboes in the same way again.

What an adventure!!!

I loved it! Great story of adventure, hardships, friendship, and love for the open country.
Very moving story (no pun intended). Would make a great film.
Attention Kostner, Spielberg and Scorsese!!!

Fascinating insight into a lost world of those who rode the rails

Worth the listen
Atmospheric and informative
Well researched and gives a nuanced picture of what drives some to live unconventional lives
