Brotherton, who went \"railroading\" as a brakeman, conductor, and trainmaster for the Burlington Northern Railroad system from 1979 to 1982. Through his many interesting short stories, Brotherton illustrates what it was like to work for a major railroad company before branch lines, vintage diesel locomotives, and cabooses were phased out. His accounts show what has changed within the railroad industry since then--and what has not.\u003cbr\u003eBrotherton, who grew up around trains in Georgia, takes the reader along on his personal encounters with a railroader's life in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, and Colorado. Now a lawyer, nothing in the courtroom compares to hanging on a boxcar in thirty-five-below weather working a local in North Dakota. He truly believed he would put in his thirty years with the railroad once he received his promotion to trainmaster with the Colorado \u0026amp; Southern Railway, a part of the Burlington Northern Railroad system--but he soon found that being a trainmaster was a special kind of hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46123612078277,"sku":"9781634995870","price":40.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/APMf6dazpX9781634995870.webp?v=1777010270","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/burlington-northern-adventures-railroading-in-the-days-of-the-caboose-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
