Lokführer-Anekdoten

What happens when colleagues place firecrackers on the tracks, a warmed-up can of ravioli explodes in the cab, or a bat hides in the locomotive? It's embarrassing when the train driver navigates a cogwheel track with a steam locomotive that lacks a cogwheel drive to visit his girlfriend. He managed to go up, but coming down was another story. Even more embarrassing is when the train driver, who has emigrated to Canada, lets his 13-year-old son take the controls, and the boy accidentally leaves him standing on the platform. You will discover these and many other amusing and astonishing stories in Ronald Gohl's new book about entertaining tales from the cab.
