Bought many years ago this book was purchased at an estate sale back in the early 90s and was part of a large library of other older books with railroad memorabilia. The book was from 1930 as it was autographed for the individual. I found this info on the boo.

American railroad men are famous, not only for their efficiency, which none can deny and which comparison of American railroads with others of the world will demonstrate, but for their loyalty and for their inborn love of their profession and its traditions.In creating Boomer Bill, the Switchman, the author has had in mind preserving some of the experiences and philosophies of the railroad employe and demonstrating how his loyalty to his railroad carries him over the rough places of the life he has chosen.History of American railroading is rich with yarns of hundreds and thousands of men of surprising similarity to Boomer Bill-men whose pride in their work have kept them tugging away, day after day, at their job, but men who are big enough, when called upon, to rise to any height to better their railroad.In presenting this volume to the railroad men of America, it is the hope of the author that it may serve to give those whom the railroads serve a better understanding of the things our railroad men are called upon to do in order to assist our great transportation systems in better.
