INTRODUCTION
This book will introduce you to the rich panorama that is Amtrak. This dramatic look at the first 40 years of the company's history is taken from every angle of the camera lens and from many areas of its operation. It presents a vivid picture of each decade along the journey, recounting the times, technology, troubles, and triumphs.
The book also features the stories of the people who are Amtrak. Coming from every region of the country, these stories highlight the spirit of the employees that have kept Amtrak running for 40 years.
"After reading this book, I hope you'll have a sense not only of what we have always offered America but what we will provide in the years to come."
-Joe Boardman, Amtrak president
