A saga about one of the oldest and most romantic enterprises in
the land America s railroads The Men Who Loved Trains introduces
some of the most dynamic businessmen in America. Here are the
chieftains who have run the railroads, including those who set
about grabbing power and big salaries for themselves, and others
who truly loved the industry.
As a journalist and associate editor of Fortune magazine who
covered the demise of Penn Central and the creation of Conrail,
Rush Loving often had a front row seat to the foibles and follies
of this group of men. He uncovers intrigue, greed, lust for power,
boardroom battles, and takeover wars and turns them into a
page-turning story for readers.
Included is the story of how the chairman of CSX Corporation,
who later became George W. Bush s Treasury secretary, was inept as
a manager but managed to make millions for himself while his
company drifted in chaos. Men such as he were shy of scruples, yet
there were also those who loved trains and railroading, and who
played key roles in reshaping transportation in the northeastern
United States. This book will delight not only the rail fan, but
anyone interested in American business and history."
