Craftsmen at work

Norwood, John

J. Baker

When Charlie Trotter starts the seventh grade his whole world is changing, his best friend abandons him, the weirdest girl in school won’t leave him alone, and his hero Peyton Manning has left his beloved Tennessee Volunteers for a career in the pros. So when his parents tell him they are getting a divorce it seems like happy doesn’t happen anymore. Knowing he is getting him on the weekends, Charlie’s Dad splurges on season tickets while claiming that this year’s Volunteers are going to be special. Without their star quarterback, and a tough schedule ahead, Charlie finds it hard to share his father’s optimism. But as the Volunteers keep winning against all odds, Charlie learns good things can happen in a rebuilding year.

This volume, John Norwood’s fourth in a series, covers a much broader range of railroading than his previous books.
 Though John is one of the country’s leading Rio Grande Narrow Gauge experts, he has chosen to feature many different rail lines in text and photographs. His general railroad experience is vast and infinite. His father who began his railroad career in 1909, was a typical boomer Morse telegrapher, having worked for 23 different railroads in his life. John adds, “And our family saw all of those railroads.”
 Within these pages John relates his colorful stories and vivid memories of small lines such as the 162-mile-long Rio Grande Southern, for whom he worked, to large railroads such as the Missouri Pacific, Gulf, Mobile &amp; Ohio, Union Pacific, Colorado Midland, D&amp;RGW, Illinois Central, Santa Fe, Kansas City Southern-Frisco, Rock Island, Milwaukee, San Diego &amp; Arizona Eastern and others.
