{"product_id":"a-train-drivers-story-9780646871752","title":"A Train Driver's Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe autobiography of a train driver, who grew up living beside a railway line in Tasmania, spent his early days wagging school to go ferreting for rabbits, Father was a fettler on the rail line. Inevitable when born into a railway family to migrate to the rail industry as well. As did his eldest brother and his twin brother. It was just the way it was became a station porter on the railways, then a shunter, before transferring to the driving grades to drive trains. Eventually he became the senior trainer of new drivers. Driving trains on the narrow gauge tracks in Tasmania required a certain skillset, particularly the rugged West Coast with tight curves just smudging around rockfaces and over trestle bridged gullies and ravines. It is beautiful but dangerous. The native manfern laden rainforest gives way to scenic splendours of farmland and on to the seascapes of northern parts of the state. A train driver's heaven. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grant Youd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780646871752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d","brand":"Grant Youd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439040585909,"sku":"9780646871752","price":19.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_983d8381-d774-4e9c-94f0-16c259de1027.jpg?v=1749003195","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-train-drivers-story-9780646871752","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
