Summary | "The Young Railroaders" by Francis Lovell Coombs is a collection of adventure stories written in the early 20th century. The book centers on young railroad enthusiasts, particularly focusing on characters like Alex Ward and Jack Orr, as they navigate thrilling challenges and solve problems related to train operations, often showcasing their ingenuity and bravery. The tales explore themes of friendship, resourcefulness, and the exciting world of railroads. The opening of the book introduces Alex Ward, a boy who embarks on a fishing trip but soon finds himself in a precarious situation when he witnesses a group of track workers taking their foreman, Hennessy, captive. Initially seeking shelter, Alex quickly realizes he must act to save Hennessy and prevent a dangerous plot to derail a train. As he devises a plan to communicate a warning to the railroad station, readers are plunged into a thrilling narrative filled with suspense as Alex strives to outsmart the danger lurking both in the forest and along the tracks. The beginning sets the stage for a series of exciting escapades amidst the backdrop of early 20th-century railroading. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
