The railroad and Walter Rich have essentially ignored this book. I assume they could have sued or tried to get an injunction against its release but they did not. While there are many ways for companies and high-profile people to react to something like this, it appears ignoring it worked best for DO/Rich.
Since the book was obviously self-published, it implies no publisher thought the story good enough (or documented enough) to run with it. There may have been a legal response if there was a publisher (deep pockets). It would be interesting to know how many copies he printed and how many actually got sold. You wonder if he even covered his printing costs.
