Synopsis
This is the first in a series featuring Ian Wilson's unique narrative style of relating history: the reader is put into the action and experiences the steam era as a spectator. Our most frequent comment from readers is "I feel as if I have been there after reading this book". This landmark volume was a trailblazer for Ian's series of books which tell the story of the Canadian National Railways (CNR) in Ontario during the twilight of the steam era.
