Inscription from Bill Fisher on title page

A true story of a young wife obliged to live in a railroad camp car with her husband and his helper amid the trains, mountains and snows of the Sierra Nevada.

The story of a young couple's struggles to eek out a living as maintenance workers on the SP railroad from the Sacramento to Reno route. A time and work ethic long forgotten that shows what extreme conditions these pioneers endured so that the entire country could benefit from main transportation of the time.
