'This stunning book opens up the reader to the world of railroad work and workers like nothing else. It's clearly a major literary work. The stories are beautifully written, eloquently capturing a rough and difficult world in an accessible and compelling voice. They are also one of the best sources on women's efforts to cross over into nontraditional jobs, and on the impact on realworking people of 1980's and 1990's 'restructuring' of the economy'. The photographs mesh perfectly with the text. They manage, like the text, to depict a hard life without being voyeuristic, sensational, or romantic.' Dana Frank,University of California, Santa Cruz
