Songs of the Rail (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Songs of the Rail Some critics, in "reviewing" a former work of mine, took exception to the railway poems it contained, as being exaggerated in incident and over-drawn in treatment. In reply to these criticisms, I beg to remark that nearly all my railway poems are founded upon facts, and not a few of them upon incidents that have taken place upon a line on which I work. There are others founded upon accounts of railway accidents, seen in glancing over the papers in my leisure hours, while others, again, have for basis communications made to me by railway men with whom I came into contact in my daily work.
