520			_a"On the Iron at Big Cloud" by Frank L. Packard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around Richard "Dick" Holman, a young man eager to prove himself as the Locomotive Foreman of the Hill Division, a challenging position fraught with hostility from seasoned shop hands, particularly from a character named Rafferty. The narrative explores themes of ambition, rivalry, and the harsh realities of railroad work in a rugged environment. At the start of the novel, Dick Holman is determined to secure his position despite the reluctant support from his uncle, the General Manager of the Transcontinental System. After successfully convincing his uncle to let him try for the position at Big Cloud, he arrives only to find the atmosphere unwelcoming and fraught with tension, particularly due to Rafferty's influential disapproval. The opening details Holman's initial struggle to earn respect from the existing crew, hinting at the challenges he faces in not only mastering his new responsibilities but also in navigating the cutthroat work culture of the railroad. As tensions escalate, Holman is forced to confront not only Rafferty but also the intricacies of human relationships among the workers, setting the stage for personal growth and conflict.
