Railroad Man's Magazine
The Railroad Man's Magazine: Volume XIV (February-May 1911) This is an indexed compilation of *The Railroad Man's Magazine* covering four months of 1911. The issue contains seven multi-part serials including "Vanishing Railroaders" by John W. Saunders, "In the Hornet's Nest" by Dan Duane, "Through by Sunrise" by William S. Wright, and "The Thousand-Mile Ticket" by Dan Duane—adventure narratives centered on railroad employees and operations. Short stories feature railroad-themed plots: card-playing conductors ("Bluffing Through for Abel"), romantic entanglements ("In the Social Whirl"), and workplace incidents ("At the Semaphore"). Nonfiction articles address railroad operations and history: immigrant transport, locomotive technology, famous rail runs, bridge construction, freight rates, and historical anecdotes like "How Coxey's Army Stole a Train." The magazine includes verse, humor, and miscellaneous notes about rail operations and personnel.
