Synopsis

The Green Shay is a novel written by George S. Wasson. The book revolves around the life of a man named Tom, who is a train engineer. Tom is known for his love for trains and his dedication to his job. He is also known for his obsession with a particular train, the Green Shay. The Green Shay is an old, steam-powered locomotive that has been decommissioned and left to rust in a train yard. Tom's obsession with the Green Shay begins when he first sees it as a young boy. He becomes fascinated with the train and spends countless hours studying its mechanics and history. As he grows older, Tom becomes a train engineer and is given the opportunity to work on the Green Shay. He spends years restoring the old locomotive to its former glory, and it becomes his pride and joy. However, Tom's dedication to the Green Shay begins to take a toll on his personal life. His wife and children feel neglected, and his job performance suffers. Tom must learn to balance his love for the Green Shay with his responsibilities to his family and his job. The Green Shay is a heartwarming story about a man's love for trains and his struggle to find balance in his life. It is a must-read for anyone who loves trains, or who is looking for a touching and inspiring story about the importance of balancing one's passions with one's responsibilities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
