In a series of 15 articles, the author tells of Kansas rail oddities such as a train robbery on the Frisco Railway in Andover, the construction of a nationally famous Rock Island Line bridge near Liberal, and the tragedy behind a grave site for six Kansas Pacific track workers near Victoria. There are stories of short lines and ghost railroads like the Scott City Northern, the St. Joseph \u0026amp; Topeka, and the Marion Belt \u0026amp; Chingawassa Springs. There's also a bibliography of the central Kansas railroad builder who became an amateur historian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy second science-fiction novel, \"Lisa's Way,\" was released in 2008 by eTreasures Publishing.
