To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, it can't be said as I'm an interested party, becos I never worked in a signal- box, nor any of my folks, and my own father is a driver, and 'ave been so nearly all his life, leastways all my hfe, and long 'fore I was born.

They have long hours, hard work, and little pay, and they work with the head just as much as the manager of ...the line does. The slightest slip on their part might lead to no end of disaster — loss of life and loss of limb, and pain and sorrow all round.
