When Steam and Steel Get in Your Blood

Ottawa Ontario - At last!
 
Duncan du Fresne's long awaited book, "When Steam and Steel Get in Your Blood (Recollections of a CPR Locomotive Fireman)", is here.
 
This book is about the work of a real honest to goodness, dedicated railway worker, a roundhouse hostler.
 
Learn how he handled a potpourri of Canadian Pacific steam locomotives dating from 1904 to 1948, and ALCO S2 diesels.
 
Details of the work, the workers, the foremen, the facilities, the winter weather, and the working conditions are all explained.
 
Written by a CP engineman, it's a railway book like no other.
 
The book contains 148 pages in a 8.5 inch x 11 inch format with 70 photos (5 are in colour).
 
Softcover - $49.95 Taxes and shipping included.
 
For orders outside Canada and the United States, contact the Bytown Railway Society for prices.
