Railroad Man's Magazine, October 1912

This October 1906 issue of Railroad Man's Magazine contains three serials: "Drift of the White Crow" by Jared L. Fuller, "Honk and Horace" by Emmet F. Harte in its ninth installment, and "Bea Berkeley's Butterfly" by Holly Edwards (Part V). Six short stories follow diverse genres—Edward T. Glynn's "How Cooney Made the Border," Roy O'Toole's "The Old Man of the Desert," and tales by Orlando Moore, George Foxhall, Robert Fulkerson Hoffman, and George Van Schaick. The magazine emphasizes technical railroad content: illustrated articles on mountain grades, Interstate Commerce Commission history, fire-box engineering, lumber locomotives, and timekeeping. Historical and human-interest pieces include Queen Mary on a handcar, Jim Riley's phantom tank, wreck recovery, and profiles of successful railroad men. Four poems and miscellaneous items about buffalo slaughter, plovers' migration, and Scottish railroad workers complete the issue. Advertisements promote Victor Victrolas, Williams Shaving products, and Pears Soap.
