«Mémoires d'un enfant du rail» is the memoir by Henri Vincenot, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (378 pages, in French).
The work traces the epic of the French railway through the story of a railway family: the grandfather as engine driver, the father as track designer, and Vincenot himself, a contributor to La Vie du Rail. It recreates the labours, joys and dramas of this world, with the locomotive as a sacred monster, glimpsed as a child from the Rempart de la Miséricorde.
It bears the subtitle «le Rempart de la Miséricorde» and the edition states «texte intégral»; it was published in 1982.
It will appeal to railway history enthusiasts and readers of memoirs about twentieth-century France.
