About this book
John Morison Copeland wrote The Trail of the Swinging Lanterns, described as A Racy, Railroading Review of Transportation Matters, Methods and Men. A piece about John Quirk Wingham’s Veteran Conductor, Retired asks readers who can explain where was and what became of the Erie & Niagara Railway, Canada. The text says that Mr. E. L. Slaughter entered Canada forty-eight years ago as representative of the Erie and is said to have been the first foreign line travelling agent to invade British domains on such a mission.
The text explains that the term dispatch was applied to the earliest systematized methods, operative within a railway organization, for tracing perishable or timed freight. The text calls Andrew Taylor a devoted follower of the sport of Isaac Walton. A passage says that one autumn night, after a southbound train from Peterborough had passed over, the shivering spans succumbed to a gale and disappeared.
