Stories of the Railway: As the Sparks Fly Upward; How I Sent My Aunt to Baltimore; Run to Seed; Flandroe's Mogul is a collection of short stories written by George A. Hibbard and originally published in 1893. The stories all center around the theme of the railway and the people who work and travel on it. As the Sparks Fly Upward is a tale of a train engineer's bravery and quick thinking when a bridge collapses under his train. How I Sent My Aunt to Baltimore follows a man's humorous misadventures as he tries to send his aunt to visit relatives in Baltimore. Run to Seed is a cautionary tale about a man who neglects his duties as a train conductor and pays the price for his laziness. Finally, Flandroe's Mogul tells the story of a wealthy man who becomes obsessed with owning a particular type of locomotive, and the lengths he goes to in order to acquire it.Overall, Stories of the Railway offers a glimpse into the world of trains and the people who rely on them, with a mix of adventure, humor, and drama.Additional Contributor: A.
