Author Geletzke has compiled a collection of 81 short stories (and 35 b&w photos), all about the railroad, and all true. Written in the style of one of his favorite authors (O. Henry) with their suspenseful endings, these selections will keep the reader right on the edge of his or her seat right to the end! Mr. Geletzke retired in 2011 from a 45-year railroad career; but actually got his start as a small child riding steam locomotives, switching the coal yards at the end of his block. While Mr. Geletzke has written most of these stories, many too have been written or told by his friends and co-workers, Most are humorous, some are mundane or perhaps even preposterous, and several will literally terrify the reader. The railroad was a great place to work; but it could also be extremely dangerous and we will discuss all of these issues. Additionally, we will look at many of our subjects from both a managerial perspective, as well as that of a unionized railroad worker. This is a great book to take on a trip in a plane or on a cruise, or just to enjoy when you only have a few minutes to read. At its conclusion, the reader will want more stories, and author Geletzke, already has another book on the way.
