Download or read book Memoirs of a Signalman written by Jack D. Harrison and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Jacks second book and turns from Verse to Prose for an autobiographical work. Memoirs of a Signalman covers his years as a Signalman with British Railways on the Fylde Coast of England between 1978-88. It is not just a cold technical book about Railway Signalling, but also includes some very funny tales of very unusual events and incidents. But despite the fact that his home town of 60 years once had the largest deep-sea fishing fleet on the West Coast, there are no Big Fish Stories. It is all true and really happened. It actually covers Jacks life from leaving School during 1974, right up until recently, when the very last Signal Box [Poulton No 3], was demolished, to make way for the Electrification of the Blackpool line. However Jack was involved in the original calls for this overdue modernisation, and he knew it was important for the Routes long-term future. Besides some basic background on traditional Railway Signalling, and life on the Railway, it covers the decline of Fleetwood and its once great Maritime and Railway heritage. It is hoped that an Audio version of the book will also be produced later this year.
