Night passage

Image not available

Description: A stormy sundown brought Grant McLain with his battered accordion to Junction City to accept a dangerous assignment from the railroad now building a spur into Montana's mountains. To McLain, disgraced railroad trouble-shooter, this meant a chance at redemption. And so he made passage through a long night, a night that included a railroad holdup and a kidnapping and reached a gunflame climax in a forgotten ghost town high in the Crazies. This is a story of taut suspense encompassed between a sundown and a sunup--Adapted from jacket.

One way to Eldorado
Rare Books
Howard Bierce, trouble shooter for the Mountain Division, slipped quietly off the train that was carrying him to New York, into the stormy world of Pioneer Gap, a desolate flag stop 8,000 feet up on the Great Western's stretch of high iron over Eldorado Pass. As Howie fought raging storms to keep the heavy Diesels rolling over Eldorado Summit, he was pulled into the equally violent tempest of emotions that held a small group together at the Gap, and learned--too late--what it was that had attracted a musician, a small-time miner, a big-time gambler, and a dangerously beautiful girl to the desolation of the Gap--Adapted from jacket.

U.S.S. Mudskipper : the submarine that wrecked a train : a novel
Rare Books
"Commander Tolliver of the U.S. Submarine Mudskipper was cruising off the coast of Hokkaido, the northernmost Japanese island, when he first spied the train on its daily run along the shore line. The Mudskipper had previously taken a tremendous toll of enemy shipping; now for weeks its periscope had searched the horizon in vain. Perhaps the daily freight and passenger train might take the place of a tramp steamer or a destroyer. So Commander Tolliver made plans to wreck the Japanese train. What follows is a story packed with mounting suspense, filled with the throat-gripping tensions of men on a dangerous undersea mission - a realistic novel that in its climax fairly explodes before the reader's eyes"--Dust jacket flap.
