16 Passenger trains: Big dollars make a big differenceIntercity, commuter, and rapid transit operations will benefit hugely from the billions of dollars in new federal aid being made available by policy makers who want a fuel-efficient alternative to the automobile.
22 Auto-Train tries some new twistsTo shore up sagging earnings, the company is (1) encouraging customers to put their cars on Auto-Train and themselves on Amtrak or an airplane, and (2) expanding its freight car repair and assembly operations.
24 NE Corridor improvement: '79 was a good yearAfter two disappointing work seasons, during which goals were far from met, the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project hit its stride last year. A new look is visible, with 160 miles of renewed track in place.
36 Product liability: Help may be on the wayThe number of claims is rising; dollar settlements and insurance costs are soaring. But there are ways, a Railway Age seminar was told, to ease the problem. Some are embodied in pending legislation.
