Publisher's Summary

The big city theatrical thrill ride of a lifetime! 

Recently unemployed and down on his luck, a despondent journalist unexpectedly finds himself invited to an eccentric, big city public transit exhibit, where he is taken on a theatrical thrill ride that changes his life forever. 

Joined by his best friend and the new object of his affections, the journalist/narrator gains a new perspective of life on the big city railroad via carnival hucksters, rail cars that ride on the road, whimsical theatrical characters and performances, and, of course, the wily and kooky ringleader himself: Circus Larry! 

This is not just a story about public transportation, but an adventure through the big city. Apprising the good and bad of the public transit riding experience, The Great American Adventures of Modern Big City Railroading is a rousing, riveting tale full of fun, thrill, and inspiration spun with such vigor and animation that listeners will find themselves captivated, knowing they can enjoy the adventure of a lifetime, only a short walk from home!
