This time they sign on as guards for the hated Southern Pacific Railroad-and quickly find themselves heading full-steam toward disaster! They've barely left the station when the train they're on is robbed and the baggage man loses his head...literally. Also on board for the wild ride: a drunken Pinkerton, a mysterious beauty, a secretive Chinese doctor and a deadly swamp adder with a taste for cowboys. Will Big Red and Old Red make it to the end of the line alive? Not if the bad guys get their way!Critical Praise for On the Wrong Track"Steve Hockensmith has hit the story's bull's eye with a fusillade of crackling humor, hefty suspense and the unexpected." -True West Magazine"No sophomore slump in Big Red and Old Red's second case: crackling pace, lots of humor and appealing Wild West flavor." -Kirkus Reviews
