Summary "The Young Train Dispatcher" by Burton Egbert Stevenson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It centers around the journey of a young man named Allan West, who embarks on a new career as an office boy at a railroad division office, gradually working his way up and showcasing his talents in the challenging and dynamic world of train dispatching. The story touches on themes of adventure, growth, and the responsibility that comes with ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo. At the start of the narrative, Allan West joins the Ohio division of the P. & O. Railroad as an office boy, eager to prove his worth following a heroic act where he saved the pay-car from thieves. The opening chapter establishes the bustling environment of the railroad station in Wadsworth and introduces Allan’s determination to learn the ropes, setting the stage for friendships and adventures to come. We see Allan tackling his new duties and interacting with key figures in the railroad, including the trainmaster and other railroad employees. His encounters demonstrate his quick thinking and readiness to face challenges, hinting at future developments in his career within the railroad industry.
