Samenvatting
Here are stories of the Midland and Great Northern Railway - known to its staff as the 'Muddle and Get Nowhere Railway' - where drivers were not unknown to stop their trains near Sandringham to help themselves to the odd rabbit from a poacher's snare, and of young engine cleaners' pranks that blew up the cabin stove by dropping a detonator down its chimney. And, above all, here is the subtle, sooty, hot and sweaty art of firing and driving a great steam locomotive, with its glowing firebox, Yorkshire Hard steam coal, and gleaming brass. For anyone who looks at a lovingly restored steam engine on one of Britain's preserved lines and wonders what it was like in the days when such great beasts would have been hard at work, More Tales of the Old Railwaymen will be a wonderfully nostalgic evocation of a vanished world.
