About This Book

The story follows employees and managers of a struggling short-line railroad as they confront neglect, sabotage, and mysterious accidents that endanger trains and lives. Episodes move between yard work and office politics: inspections, a tense directors' meeting, equipment failures, and escalating acts of wrecking that culminate in a massive collision. Investigations, narrow escapes, and personal reckonings reveal both deliberate malice and systemic decay, blending action, technical problem-solving, and suspense as characters race to expose the perpetrators and restore safe operation.
