Excerpt from Engine WhistlesOut from the window at the right of the cab, looking too big and powerful for the engine which carried him, leaned Bill Turner, the engineer. The hot breeze from the hurrying engine blew through his thick brown hair. His blue shirt, wide open at the throat, was wet with sweat. Great drops Of sweat raced with one another and made white, wavy tracks down his soot-blackened face and neck and arms.There was an amused twinkle in Bill's eye as he watched the track ahead. An amused twinkle in his eye, but a queer downward turn at the corner of his mouth! Could it be that he was ashamed to be caught driving this teakettle engine?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
