Roundhouse Talk on a Turbulent Train Ride
Leigh R. Howell presents a humorous Buffalo News account of a freight trip from Chicago to Boakville where conductor Jerry, obsessed with politics, drives a locomotive Hannah through a stampede of sheep after a mock debate over free trade. The tale blends frontier humor with a cautionary ping of character and a rural audience’s relish for tall yarns.
