This book is all about trains and my experiences with them together with the years of service in the locomotive area. I am recording as best as I can in this book the memoirs of my time as a fireman on the South African railways and as a scrap metal merchant in Northern Rhodesia now known as Zambia. The idea of writing of my experiences germinated when I was working on contract in the Republic of Mali, North Africa. I was commissioning a hydroelectric power station and, as there was nothing to do on off days, decided to write my memoirs. The more I wrote the more the memories came back, and I was eventually astounded of what I remembered.
