| 520 | _a"The Wreckers" by Francis Lynde is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is centered on Graham Norcross, a railroad construction executive who finds himself embroiled in the chaos of managing a struggling railroad line, the Pioneer Short Line. As he deals with various challenges, including a kidnapping incident and corruption, he also navigates personal interactions with intriguing characters like Mrs. Sheila Macrae and her cousin Maisie Ann. The opening of the story introduces us to Jimmie Dodds, Norcross's confidential clerk, as they embark on a train journey that quickly leads to unforeseen complications. Following delays caused by a freight-train wreck, they encounter Mrs. Sheila and Maisie Ann on the train. When both women venture off the train to retrieve a forgotten muff, a series of misadventures unfolds, leading to the discovery of a plot to kidnap Mr. Chadwick, a wealthy businessman traveling in a private car on the same train. As the plot progresses, we see wealthy and influential characters maneuvering against each other, with current treachery intertwining with Norcross's new responsibilities as the recently appointed general manager of the railroad.
