“Powerful personalities, massive egos, corporate machinations, subterfuge and violence on the rails, the battles between railway giants and giant railways… and that's just the first chapter! Engage with Terry Gainer's magnificent work, loaded with research and fascinating rail tales. The people, the places, the valleys, the roadbeds, the lakes and the rivers. The sadness and gladness, the triumph and tragedy. Word pictures abound, bringing to life the dynamism of high iron and Kootenay railroading.” —Brian Antonson, co-author of Whistle Posts West: Railway Tales from British Columbia, Alberta, and Yukon
“Few authors can claim Terry Gainer’s closeness to their topic: as a youngster he lived upstairs at the train station he writes about. He’s also a gifted storyteller—he makes good train stories great, and great train stories terrific. Take a seat with Terry at the Banff station and watch the world of trains as no one else gets to see it.” —Rick Antonson, author of Train Beyond the Mountains: Journeys on the Rocky Mountaineer"
