This issue long work by DPM and appearing in April 1959 TRAINS is an informed and insightful masterpiece and very readable by, so far as I'm concerned, the "Tom Brady of railroad literature".
In this treatise, DPM predicts "an Amtrak" long before any politician ever dreamed of it. He further predicted the actual model the NYC followed when relocating the Albany station over to Rensselaer. Further, he foresaw the end of the LD train as a means to get from A to B and predicted "it's all about Corridors".
Finally, he provided a layman's explanation of the "passenger train deficit" truthfully stating to this CPA that it included so many allocable costs between Freight and Passenger to render it useless as any kind of measurement.
Get it; well worth the $5.95 Kalmbach wants.
