Pranks of the Wild Engine Tells of a Reckless Steam Joker
A truthful engineer recalls wild engines that prank crews with dangerous stunts. He describes an engine that broke away, knocked him down, and raced along while another locomotive similarly feigned mischief on a stormy prairie run. The tales end with a near-disaster at San Tone and the engineer's vow to quit without new assignment.
