Rough Rails: My Auto-Train Days

From the author’s days of working on the original Auto-Train in the 1970s rolls Rough Rails. College completed, career chosen, and a bright future ahead, Tyson switched tracks to answer another calling - the romantic lure of the rails. It wasn’t all smooth riding for him, though, starting with a disapproving mother and a family conflict to overcome. Yet those train days would be some of the best years of his life. It’s all here, four years of being a host on the longest passenger train in the country and the hilarious mishaps that befell him, fondly remembered forty-five years later.
