Railroaders' Nostalgia > A good readDate: 05/12/17 20:34 A good read Author: a737flyer I just finished quite a good book by retired rail John Cockrell called "45 Years". Well done stories of 45 years on the Southern Pacific/Union Pacific. Here's an engineer who loved what he did and where he did it and it shows all through the book. Kudos to Engineer John Cockrell and his co-author wife Sheri.

incognito, a couple of times a month for klm as a f/o. apparently he has been doing this for 20 years! its been a big secret. being king of holland must be a pretty low profile position. mike Date: 05/20/17 10:58 Re: A good read Author: Narniaman I must say that I downloaded this book and read it over the course of three or four nights.
