About this book

Ralph on the Engine; or, The Young Fireman of the Limited Mail is an illustrated book by Allen Chapman. Its contents list chapters titled The Night Run, The Landslide, An Old-Time Enemy, On Special Duty, Zeph and Limpy Joe's Railroad Restaurant.

In one passage a locomotive stops after the danger signal, with a mass of dirt, gravel and rocks across the rails. The engineer, Griscom, takes it for a landslide, but Ralph says it is no landslide and asks him to give the trouble signal in the caboose. In another passage Zeph tells Fairbanks about a freight car lost about five years ago, empty except for a pocketbook of diamonds said to be hidden in it, and about a reward to be shared. Elsewhere a new locomotive stands at a terminus and a little depot has been built.
