"Soak It!!!"... and Other Railroad Stories is the author's ninth book and the eighth in the and Other Railroad Stories series. Though similar to the first eight books in the chain, the author's wife declares this volume to be much more personal! Yes, it is a collection of all true railroad tales; however, this one delves more into why the author changed jobs several times during his railroad career and why a railroader's lifestyle can be so tough on his or her family! Once again, most of the tales are humorous; but then there are those that will make you wonder if you want to take that call to go back to work later that evening!?! Please grab your lantern, pack your grip, and bring along a good sized lunch to accompany the author and a number of his friends as they tell their accounts of working in various railroad crafts and managerial positions and railfanning in various parts of this great Nation! I hope you enjoy the journey!?!
