Ed King's book - Memoirs of an Appalachian Railroad Man

[NW Mailing List]

I was privileged to read a draft of Ed's book, and I recommend it to 
anybody with an interest in railroads.  He manages to combine his 
first-hand operating experience, knowledge of the territory and a good 
yarn.  I have pre-ordered my copy, and I recommend that others do the 
same so that we reach, and hopefully pass, the minimum number of copies 
to trigger publication.
