Sinopse

In the golden age of steam, a young boy named Ethan is captivated by the mighty locomotives that thunder across the land. Fueled by his passion, he embarks on a lifelong journey to become a locomotive engineer, navigating the ranks of the railroad hierarchy with unwavering determination.

From shoveling coal as a fireman to ensuring the safe passage of trains as a brakeman, Ethan eagerly soaks up knowledge and experience, inching closer to his ultimate goal. When he finally takes the throttle of his first locomotive, he feels the immense power of the machine surge through his veins, marking the beginning of an extraordinary odyssey.

Ethan traverses the vast expanse of the country, hauling freight and transporting passengers across the rails. From bustling cities to remote frontier towns, he witnesses the changing landscape of America from the cab of his locomotive. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, from grizzled veterans of the rails to wide-eyed apprentices just starting their own journeys.

Through it all, Ethan remains captivated by the allure of the steam locomotive, its rhythmic chugging and piercing whistle becoming the soundtrack to his life. He revels in the camaraderie among railroad workers, the shared experiences and unspoken understanding that bind them together. Railroading is more than just a job to Ethan; it is a calling, a way of life that fills him with purpose and fulfillment.

As the age of steam gives way to the diesel era, Ethan faces the changing landscape of railroading with resilience and adaptability. He embraces new technologies while cherishing the legacy of the steam locomotive, ensuring that its spirit lives on in the hearts of future generations.

"The Hissing Steel Horse: A Journey Through Time" is a captivating tale of passion, determination, and the enduring allure of steam locomotives. It is a story that celebrates the human spirit and the transformative power of following one's dreams, even in the face of technological change.

    Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
    This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
    It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.
