Railroads are incomparably the world's most efficient form of transport... No railroad man doubts it. But does the point always get across to others? This special report restates the idea in its simplest, most dramatic terms. It is designed to help railroaders tell their story. It is also designed to persuade legislators*- and their constituents, the public-that railroads are a great national resource that cannot be allowed to waste away.
