RailroadTreasures offers the following item:

In the last six years railroads have pulled away from the past and headed into the future. This turnaround was achieved after long preparation and the overcoming of many sidetrackings and some derailments. It is only in recent years that railroads have begun to win the freedom to use new routes to progress, and they are still working out their waybill to a new future.

Despite unpredictable blows from the economy in 1967, rails have built new competitive strengths. It is now plain that railroads can grow again, meet new challenges in hauling man and his worldly goods, help restore the quality of life in our choking cities, cut the cost of living through efficient distribution and take great burdens off our crowded highways. Even in this space age they can become incomparably the most versatile form of transportation. This booklet explains why these feats are possible and examines some problems being encountered en route. That many of the rails' toughest problems contain the seeds of their most promising prospects makes it once again exciting to follow a rail odyssey.
