| Summary | "The Young Train Master" by Burton Egbert Stevenson is a novel written in the early 20th century. This book presents the journey of Allan West, who has climbed the ranks in the railroad industry, eventually becoming the chief dispatcher for the Ohio Division of the P. & O. railway. The narrative delves into his experiences and challenges as he navigates both personal relationships and the demanding world of railroad management. The opening of the novel introduces the quaint town of Wadsworth, Ohio, where Allan has established his life and career. On a bright October evening, he eagerly returns home to reunite with his childhood friend, Mamie, who has just returned after a trip. We also see the camaraderie among the railroad workers as they celebrate Allan's eight-year anniversary with the railroad. Soon, he receives news of his promotion, pointing to forthcoming responsibilities and potential conflicts within the railroad industry, setting the stage for a story rich in adventure, personal growth, and the intricacies of life on the rails.
