| 520 | _a"No stop-overs by John A. Thompson" is a short story originally published in the late 1920s. Set against the backdrop of an Alaskan gold rush, it is a work of adventure fiction focusing on the relentless railroad operations needed to supply booming mining camps. The narrative follows the trials of a railroad engineer and his fireman during a time when labor was scarce and the lure of gold was drawing men away from their regular work. At its core, the story deals with loyalty, perseverance, and the conflict between duty and personal ambition. The story centers on Sam Tebbetts, a small but feisty railroad engineer determined to both do his job and seek his fortune in gold, alongside his loyal and powerful fireman, Plapp. Despite repeated attempts by prospectors and railroad men alike to pull them off course, Sam and Plapp stick to their jobs, though Sam cannot resist stopping his train to prospect whenever he glimpses a glimmer of gold. This habit repeatedly gets them into trouble, culminating in a dramatic showdown with claim jumpers on their own gold claim. Fired for his unscheduled "stop-overs" but ultimately forgiven after his actions prevent a train collision, Sam is rewarded with another run and a paid vacation to work his claim. The story blends moments of humor, action, and heartfelt camaraderie, offering a lively snapshot of frontier life and the colorful characters who lived it.
