Fascinating collection of oral histories from the men and women who worked in the Chicago and Alton Railroad shops in Bloomington, Illinois. Their stories cover the years from 1900-1972, spanning steam and diesel, and only end when the C&A's owner, the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, was folded into the Illinois Central. The book is lavishly illustrated with pictures of the shops, the workers and management. 162 pages with index.
