Reviews

Sharp and Beier have captured the real John H. Burdakin at his best. An enlightened visionary, inspiring leader, persistent motivator, loving husband, and caring father, Burdakin lived a love affair with good track, effective motive power, and a team of involved employees. He set the standards and lit a fire inside many of us that still burns bright. --Art Fettig, author of Winning the Safety Commitment and recipient of the National Safety Council's Distinguished Service to Safety Award
