Book Description
On the Iron at Big Cloud presents engaging short stories about a mountain division railroad town and its people. Big Cloud was the headquarters for the "Mountain Division" in the early days of western railroading. Through a series of gripping short stories, the author introduces readers to many people who built the road, drove the trains, created the schedules, fixed the equipment, interfered with the operation, or were family or neighbors to the railroaders. These are short stories about the difficult living and working conditions on the rails during a rough, harsh time. Each character portrayed in the stories has its own unique story to tell, and not a single person, from the higher class to the lower, is too big or too small to be worth looking into. The characterization is so realistic that the readers can relate to their stories and feel what they go through.

Book Description
The General Manager of the Transcontinental System glared at the young man who stood facing him across the office desk. "Why, you wouldn't last three months!" he snapped. "I'd like to try, uncle." "Humph!" "I'm qualified for the position," young Holman went on. "I've done my stint with the construction gangs and I've spent four years in the Eastern shops. You promised me that if I'd stick I'd have my chance." "Well, if I did, I didn't promise to put you in the way of making a fool of yourself and a laughing-stock of me, did I? You may be qualified technically, I don't say you're not. In fact, I've been rather pleased with you; that's one reason why you're not going out there to tackle something you can't handle. If men like Rawson and Williams can't hold down the job, what do you expect to do?"

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...to do anything but keep my mouth shut? " " No; I can't prove it "--Carleton's voice was deadly cold. " You're out! I'll give you twelve hours to get out of the mountains. The boys, for Coogan's sake alone if for no other, would tear you to pieces if they knew the story. No one knows it yet but the man who found this in your pocket and myself. I'm not going to tell you again what I think of you--get out! " Dahleen, without a word, swung slowly on his heel and started for the door. " Wait! " said Carleton suddenly. " Here's a pass East for you. I don't want your blood on my hands, as I would have if Coogan's friends, and that's every last soul out here, got hold of you. You've got twelve hours--after that they'll know--to set Coogan straight." Dahleen hesitated, came back, took the slip of paper with a mirthless, half-choked laugh, turned again, and the door closed behind him. Dahleen was out. Carleton kept his word--twelve hours--and then from the division rose a cry like the cry of savage beasts; but Regan was like a madman. " Curse him!" he swore bitterly, breaking into a seething torrent of oaths. " What did you let him go for, Carleton? You'd no business to. You should have held him until Coogan could talk, and then we'd have had him." " Tommy "--Carleton laid his hand quietly on the master mechanic's shoulder--" we're too young out in this country for much law. I don't think Coogan knows or ever will know again what happened in the cab that night. The doctors don't seem quite able to call the turn on him themselves, so they've said to you and said to me. But whether he does or not, it doesn't make any difference as far as Dahleen goes. It would have been murder to keep him here. And if Coogan ever can talk he'll never put a mate in...
