"Call The Big Hook" by Samuel A Dougherty is a great collection of wreck tales and human experiences.

The set of "Western Yesterdays" by Forest Crossen is full of stores from people he tracked down, and he was pretty amazing at getting people to open up honestly. The book on the C&S and the D&SL are very good.

There is also "Goin Railroading" by Margaret Coel, Sam Speas
