What reading level is Trips in the Life of a Locomotive Engineer book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The old man's activity never diminished in the least, but his eyesight grew weak, and he thought he would leave USED UP AT LAST, 141 the main line, and, like an old war-horse, in his latter days be rid of the hurry-skurry of the road. So he took a switch engine in the yard at Rochester and worked there, leaving the fast running in which he delighted to his younger comrades, many of whom received their first in- sight to the business from Old Steve. He had been there about a year at work, very w...ell contented with his position, a little outside of the great whirling current of the road on which he had so long labored, and was one day standing beside his engine, almost as old a stager as himself, when with an awful crash the boiler exploded. Old Steve was not hurt by the explosion, but he start- ed back so suddenly that he fell upon the other track, up which another engine was backing ; the engineer of which, startled, no doubt, by the explosion, did not see the old man, until too late, and the wheels passed over him, crushing his leg off, just above the knee.
