Railroad Man Magazine was a popular publication in the early 20th century, featuring stories about the lives and experiences of railroad workers. The magazine was first published in 1906 and continued to be published until 1968. During its heyday, Railroad Man Magazine was one of the most popular magazines in the United States, with a circulation of over 500,000 copies per month.

The 1931 edition of Railroad Man Magazine is a fascinating glimpse into the world of railroading during that era. The magazine features a variety of stories, including accounts of train wrecks, heroic rescues, and the everyday lives of railroad workers. The stories are written by railroad workers themselves, and they provide a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of working on the railroad.

One of the most interesting stories in the 1931 edition of Railroad Man Magazine is "The Wreck of the Royal Blue," which recounts the story of a train wreck that occurred in 1904. The Royal Blue was a passenger train that was traveling from New York City to Washington, D.C., when it derailed near Camden, New Jersey. The wreck killed 11 people and injured over 100 others. The story of the wreck is told by a railroad worker who was on the train at the time, and it provides a vivid account of the tragedy.

Another interesting story in the 1931 edition of Railroad Man Magazine is "The Hero of the Hour," which tells the story of a railroad worker who saved the lives of several passengers during a train wreck. The worker, John Henry, was a fireman on a train that was traveling from Chicago to St. Louis when it derailed near Mattoon, Illinois. The wreck killed 21 people and injured over 100 others. Henry was able to save the lives of several passengers by pulling them from the wreckage of the train. For his heroism, Henry was awarded the Carnegie Medal, which is the highest award for civilian heroism in the United States.

The 1931 edition of Railroad Man Magazine is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of railroading. The magazine provides a unique perspective on the lives and experiences of railroad workers during that era. The stories in the magazine are well-written and engaging, and they provide a glimpse into a world that has largely disappeared.
