It’s great to find Mr. Frailey writing once again. His contributions convey an understanding of railroading and the people whose day-to-day experiences Frailey portrays with clarity.
Frailey’s first fiction novel, Seldom Willing, as portrayed by Bill Stephens, should be an interesting tail given Freds firsthand experiences and knowledge.
I always enjoyed Fred’s ‘take’ on any topic he wrote about.
My guess is, many readers around here have missed his contributions.
Looking forward to his new book. Seldom Willing .
Bill Stephens, recomendation, as well, should make it a must read…
I’ll look forward to it. Too many of their special issues and even some monthly issues have regurgitated old articles.
The reprints of older articles are part of the lead-up to the thousandth issue. The EMD at 100 special issue has some older articles that are useful in showing EMD’s presence at that particular time.
Highway to the Frailey Zone.
Fred is still the Top Gun of railroad writers.
Maybe someday he’ll be replaced, but not today.
