  • Get ready for a good, solid dose of American industrialism! In Canada. That's right, on the advice of J.P. Morgan, Charles Melville Hays is going to bring American grit to the Canadian railway, and how do you think that'll work out for the 51st state?

    This is the story of Charles Melville Hays, Railroad King. Come for the ghost, stay for teeny tiny knuckle workout, the most Midwestern person, the last days of Blockbuster, moose harvest, pool skimmers, the whole deal with the Titanic, and ghosts have no friction.
