After a career spanning 34 years with Qantas and rising from Cadet Engineer to General Manager Component Maintenance, the author took a redundancy package at age 54 and thought he was set to enjoy retirement. Two months later, he was bored out of his brain. This book initially gives a brief history of the author's early years and his career at Qantas, and then goes on in detail to describe his efforts, frustrations and finally elation at establishing a new career he had always wanted from childhood - to be a train driver. Included are many brief stories of events, both humorous and serious, that occurred along the way. Also there is an addendum which the more technically minded readers will enjoy. It briefly covers the basics of how a diesel-electric locomotive powers and brakes and a description of how it is controlled; the different types of braking systems used on freight trains; basic trackside equipment, signage and signals and the interpretation of same; train drivers' formal and slang terminology; the systems of safe working used by railways; and how train drivers prepare their locomotives and train for service.

In December 2000, Pumla Lolwana pulled her three children close to her body and stepped in front of a train on the railway tracks between Philippi and Nyanga on the Cape Flats, South Africa. This true story demanded Athol Fugard's attention and compelled him to write The Train Driver; a beautiful and haunting play of redemptive power. The Train Driver received its UK premiere at Hampstead Theatre, London, in November 2010. 'Brave, confrontational and tender . . . Essential theatre viewing.' Sunday Times, South Africa

Learn what it takes to be a truck driver from this experienced driver. See if you have what it takes to live this life. Written in a down to earth style and includes a "personality test" as well as stories from the road, to help you see if you would like making your living driving the "Big Rigs". "...from now on I will have a much greater respect for the wonderful long-haulers on the freeways, cross country highways, etc. I will also try to give them the courtesy of knowing the masses that they carry and must account for when having to "brake". I have always tried to give them plenty of room when passing, but I will now know to even give them more consideration on the roads. I wish everyone could read your book and learn more about what it takes to be a "long-hauler". Bea Mack

Description'A Cry for Help' is the follow-up to Stephen's very successful 'A Cry For Help' and continues his first book's theme highlighting the constant struggles of living with OCD. Stephen has a terrible fear, amongst others, of harming an elderly lady. Having to continually check that each and every elderly woman he passed in the street or came into everyday contact had not suffered at his hands. 'A Cry Forever' tackles how this obsession has altered Stephen's life, further periods in custody are discussed as are Stephen's experiences of forming relationships and starting a family hindered by ever-present obsessions. This is an honest and open book which can act as a beacon of hope for those suffering from this wildly misunderstood, yet life-changing illness.About the AuthorStephen Drake was born in Surrey in 1970 and was diagnosed with OCD in 1989, having spent periods in jail due to the condition. Further custody followed as stress heightened his obsessions. In 2006 Stephen wrote his first book entitled 'A Cry For Help' as a way of expressing his problems and changing his wayward course. 'A Cry For Ever' followed a year later, having been encouraged by benefits from his first book.
