Sankey and Sinclair Love Story Amid Snowbound Rails
In a tale of trains and winter hardship, conductor Sylvester Sankey, famed for timeliness, romances Georgie Sinclair, his ally from the engine crew, while Neeta Sankey, his daughter, grows to eighteen and later marries Sinclair after a historic Blackwood gorge wreck and a brutal season. The big snow tests rail workers as No. 1 and No. 2 push through, keeping the arterial mainline open despite frozen days and perilous odds.
