The Rainy Day Railroad War (1906)

By Holman Francis Day

Book Overview

The Rainy Day Railroad War is a novel written by Holman Francis Day and published in 1906. The story is set in the fictional town of Tinkletown, Maine, where two rival railroad companies, the Tinkletown and the Bangor and Aroostook, are vying for control of the town's transportation system. The conflict between the two companies comes to a head on a rainy day when a train carrying the Tinkletown company's president is derailed by the Bangor and Aroostook's workers. The resulting chaos and tension between the two companies escalates into a full-blown ""railroad war"" as the townspeople take sides and the companies engage in a battle for power. The Rainy Day Railroad War is a thrilling tale of greed, corruption, and the struggle for control in a small town, and is a classic example of early 20th-century American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
