Cy Warman (1855-1914) was an American journalist, novelist, and a prolific writer, well-known for his captivating portrayal of the American West and the nascent railroad industry. Born in Illinois, Warman's literary career was deeply influenced by his passion for the railroad, and his experiences working on the trains provided a rich backdrop for his narrative style. He is perhaps best recognized for his book 'Snow on the Headlight' (1899), a gripping tale that showcased his intimate knowledge of railroading and its adventurous spirit at the turn of the century. His writing effectively captures the raw energy and the relentless drive of the era's railway expansion, earning him the moniker 'the poet laureate of the rails.' Warman's literary style combined factual precision with a dramatic flair, managing to entertain and inform his readers about the complexities and the hard realities of life on the rail. His body of work is considered valuable for its historical significance, offering insights into the transformative period of American industrial progress, and for its contribution to the romanticization of the American railroader.
