Fine book—but very fine print
I always find the stories of he people working at railroad jobs to be the most interesting part of being a rail fan. This book delivers, but the format is challenging. The print is VERY small. Considering that many of us who are classic train fans are “of a certain age,” this was a surprising choice by Kalmbach.
