What was it like to drive a steam locomotive? This book shares the ups and downs, mishaps and triumphs, of life on the footplate. In the 1960s, author David Barnett worked as an engineman / fireman on the footplates of locomotives in Western Victoria, Australia, at a time when bumper wheat harvests saw trains carrying tons of grain through Ararat, Victoria for shipping overseas. A variety of locomotives were in use during this time.
