45 Years of True Railroad StoriesTM
John and Sheri have worked together as founders/co-owners of many small businesses for over twenty-eight years.
Their current businesses are:
45 Years RailroadTM - offering many retail products, and Cockrell EnterprisesTM.
Also, for over two years they worked to document John's stories - now published into a memoir,
45 Years of True Railroad StoriesTM. He told them as Sheri typed, bringing them closer together and allowing Sheri to know more of what he did during his trips away.
The stories in their book are the real-life trip experiences, written in first person perspective, that John remembers most vividly.
It is a historical book that is meant for sharing. Not only with you, but with generations to come.
