Synopsis

Ralph In The Switch Tower: Or Clearing The Track is a book written by Allen Chapman and published in 1907. The story revolves around a young boy named Ralph, who lives near a railway station and has a fascination for trains. Ralph's dream is to become a train engineer, but his father wants him to become a lawyer. One day, Ralph gets the opportunity to work in the switch tower, where he can control the movement of trains. He takes the job and learns how to operate the switches and signals. However, he faces a challenge when a train carrying valuable cargo gets stuck on the tracks due to a broken engine. Ralph takes charge of the situation and comes up with a plan to clear the track and save the day. The book is an exciting adventure story that will appeal to young readers who love trains and action-packed stories. It also teaches valuable lessons about responsibility, problem-solving, and teamwork.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

"Get out of here!" said Jack Knight, head towerman of the Great Northern Railroad, at Stanley Junction. "Why, I ain't doing no harm," retorted Mort Bemis, ex-leverman of the depot switch tower. "And stay out. Hear me?" demanded Knight, big as a bear, and quite as gruff. "What's the call for sitting down on a fellow this way, I'd like to know!" muttered Bemis sullenly.
