Earlier generations of American readers thrilled to the tales of brave locomotive engineers on the railroads, the airline pilots of their day. A Rogue Valley author hearkens back to that time, but with a twist: S.K. (Sue) DeMarinis wrote a book about a woman connected to the railroad. But only by marriage, and not for long.
