Excerpt from Engine-Driving Life: Or Stirring Adventures and Incidents in the Lives of Locomotive Engine-Drivers I have endeavoured in these pages to perform a labour of love, giving the public an insight into the life of our locomotive drivers. Feeble and faint is the story at best. It is impossible to transfer to a printed page anything but a dull picture; suggestive of the original, it is true, but I fear that is all. It is now some years since I first became acquainted with railway tradition. Much has been lost to memory, but that which remains has been well considered and carefully reduced to order. Nought is heedlessly set down or is void of purpose, for I have written from the facts, and have, consequently, shown up men and incidents as they are. In a word, I have given the reflection of my own experience, extending over a period of twenty years. Many will see their own experience; while the public at large, who know but little of our railway men, although there is much in their lives of an interesting character, will see something fresh. They are beings who possess a hearty belief in the reality of earnest endeavour; of manly and godly affections.
