Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An evocative and honest portrayal in words and images of railroad life in America, Railroad Voices is a collaboration by two of the first women to work as railroad brakemen. Linda Niemann hired on the Southern Pacific in 1979 in California, where she continues to work as a conductor for the Union Pacific, and Lina Bertucci hired on the nowdefunct Milwaukee Road in 1974.The eighteenyearold Lina Bertucci used her camera to hold her own in the freightyard, and the resulting fiftyeight photographs in this book present an insiders view of a world few people have access to. This is the true world of work: the face of exhaustion, of hours spent waiting, followed by intense activity, of the outside maze of tracks and housesize boxcars the workers shepherd with their bodies and a twodollar lantern. We notice what individuals these people arethe clothes they choose to wear, their tattoos, their faces. And they are, of course, looking at Lina, or aware of her presence in their previously allmale sanctuary.Linda Niemanns folkloric memoirs give this environment voice. The railroad for her has become an eighteenyear career and her poetic subject. As the last brakeman hired, Niemann has had to follow the work all over the Southwest, collecting travelers tales along the way. Her stories carry the images forward in time to the presentday railroad of short crews, no cabooses, and streamlined, downsized operations. She tells the human stories these changes generate, while delighting in the language and details of the craft. Image and text interplay to place the reader inside an exciting, changing, and dangerous world that has for generations been a major part of American culture.
