 The Pennsylvania Railroad in Indiana: Railroads Past and Present
|
| By : William J. Watt |
The book traces the company's impact on Indiana's economy, the railroad's contributions to the Allied victory in World War II, and the postwar decline, which led to merger into Penn Central. Wonderful photographs, advertising and promotional materials, and detailed maps resurrect its speedy passenger trains and heavy-tonnage freights, and show how it earned its slogan: "The Standard Railroad of the World."

forced to adapt to "future shock.

The Wreck of the Penn Central
|
| By : Joseph R. Daughen, Peter Binzen |
This book, which The New York Times called 'a great book,' offers the reader a 'ringside seat' to the economic debacle, provides a close-up view of the events that brought the Big Train to bankruptcy court -- over-regulation, subsidized competition, big labor featherbedding, greed, corporate back-stabbing, stunning incompetence, and, yes, even a little sex. The story is every bit as enthralling in this 1999 illustrated reprint edition as it was in the original edition published in 1971.
