GROSSET & DUNLAP, - NEW YORK The Railroad Series BY ALLEN CHAPMAN. Ralph Fairbanks was bound to become a railroad man, as his father had been before him. Step by step he worked his way upward, serving first in the Roundhouse, cleaning locomotives; then in the Switch Tower, clearing the tracks; then on the Engine, as a fireman; then as engineer of the Overland Express; and finally as Train Dispatcher. In this line of books there is revealed the whole workings of a great American railroad system. There are adventures in abundance--railroad wrecks, dashes through forest fires, the pursuit of a "wildcat" locomotive, the disappearance of a pay car with a large sum of money on board--but there is much more than this--the intense rivalry among railroads and railroad men, the working out of running schedules, the getting through "on time" in spite of all obstacles, and the manipulation of railroad securities by evil men who wish to rule or ruin. Books that every American boy ought to own. RALPH, THE TRAIN DISPATCHER Or The Mystery of the Pay Car. RALPH ON THE OVERLAND EXPRESS Or The Trials and Triumphs of a Young Engineer.
