Davis traces railroad development in the South by a cast of
remarkable entrepreneurs and the subsequent creation of the
Southern Railway's network from the ruins of those early
enterprises. This is also a full account of the many innovations
wrought by the Southern's leaders: the first major railroad to
convert to diesel power; a pioneer in mechanized maintenance of
right-of-way; the use of gigantic box cars to carry bulky cargo;
and the operation of coal trains in continuous shuttle.
Originally published in 1985.
