In these frustrating days of diesel and electric trains it is hard to remember the smell of coal smoke, the hiss of steam, and the sting of cinders flying into your eyes. With his passion for the olden days and his famous ear for a good yarn, Bill ‘Swampy’ Marsh has brought together another enthralling collection of funny, dramatic and hilarious stories from drivers and gangers, firemen and guards, their families and everyone in between.

Long after the last tale has been told, you'll still hear laughter from the pub, the crash of a drunken donkey falling in a trench, and recall the time...they found this bloke, sitting in the main street at three o'clock in the morning, hammering one of those survey pegs in the ground. So they said, "What the hell are you doing?" And this drunk feller replies, "I'm driving a peg inta the arsehole of the world."
