Books with title The Danger Trail:

In this historical adventure novel set in the frontier country around London, Ontario, in the 1870s, Meg and Jamie Bains find themselves in the midst of a bitter feud between the gun-toting Ryan brothers, owners of the stagecoach line, and the owners of the railroad. When the railway offers a $200 reward to anyone who can solve the mystery of a horrible railway accident, Mep, determined to win it, comes up with the perfect plan to find the culprit: a race between the stagecoach and the train!

Meg and Jamie Bains are driven away from their Ottawa home by the Depression of the 1870s, riding the rails and looking for work to help feed their family. But with so many grown men and women out of work, nobody wants to hire two kids, no matter how desperate they seem. When they reach London, Ontario, there's lots of construction work under way, but also a nasty feud between railwaymen and the stagecoach owners that the new railway threatens to put out of business. When a train suffers a horrible wreck nearby suspicions abound, and the railwaymen offer a $200 reward to anyone who can prove the cause of the wreck. Meg sees the reward as the answer to their difficulties, and figures out a sure-fire way to flush out the culprits. Set against a historical background of great technological change, Danger on the Tracks is the story of one family's courage and adaptability in the face of great hardship. The book includes a photo section illustrating the contemporary history of the London area and its early railway development. This is the sixth book in the Bains series of historical novels, well-researched, action-filled narratives following the travels of one family across Canada--from Newfoundland to Alberta-- in search of a better life during the hard times of the 1870s
