Oh boy, so many books so little time
Travel on Southern Antebellum Railroads 1828-1860 Alvarez - great discussion and collection of first person accounts of rail travel.
Singing Rails - Pease - first person account of being a brass pounder and later a railroad agent
We took the Train - Grant - collection of first person accounts of train travel from the first days to Amtrak
Little Engines and Big Men - Lathrop - first person account of working on the D&RG narrow gauge
Forty years a Locomotive Engineer - Thrilling tales of the Rail - Reeve first person account from the 19th century.
I'd recommend any of these as a great read and I see all can be found listed over on Bookfinder.
