Bertucci began her railroad work as a Brakeman on the Milwaukee. From the first day of employment she made it a point to keep her camera tucked inside her bag and ready to record anything of interest. Her photographic record of people, places, and events on the Milwaukee Railroad covers the period of time when the railroads were in decline.
Linda Niemann’s first work was Boomer-Railroad Memoirs which is an account of her working on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The narratives she provides in Railroad Voices consist of additional stories she has to tell about her work on the SP as well as stories from other female railroad workers including Pat Doolette (SP Conductor), Cindy Angelos (Milwaukee Conductor), and Mary Alsip(SP conductor).
Each chapter covers some aspect of the work and is accompanied by a selection of Bertucci’s photographs. The stories, in chapter form, are well written and the photographs that accompany them gives the reader a real sense of “being there”. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in first person accounts of railroad work. See Common Knowledge for an example of the writing style.
