Chapman, Allen
Ralph in the Switch Tower; Or, Clearing the Track
The railroad series
Produced by Al Haines
"Ralph in the Switch Tower; Or, Clearing the Track" by Allen Chapman is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows Ralph Fairbanks, a young and determined railroader, as he embarks on his new duties in a switch tower, where he must ensure the safe passage of trains while contending with adversaries from his past. The book delves into themes of responsibility, deception, and adventure within the railroading world. At the start of the narrative, Ralph is introduced as he begins his first day of duty in the switch tower after being promoted. His new responsibilities involve operating the levers to control the switches that direct trains, a task complicated by the presence of his nemesis, Mort Bemis, who was recently discharged for causing an accident. As he settles into his role, Ralph faces immediate challenges, including dealing with Bemis's malicious intentions and an unexpected encounter with a tiger that has escaped from a traveling circus. The opening sets the stage for Ralph's struggles and triumphs in a high-stakes work environment filled with danger and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
