36 Super Railroad
The Northeast Corridor: Build a high-speed passenger railroad on a century-old roadbed? That's crazy talk! But not for Amtrak-and it succeeded. Here's how.  William D. Middleton
FEATURES
28 Railroad Blueprint: Wishram, Washington
Spokane, Portland & Seattle's isolated division point in the Columbia River gorge in 1969.  Paul Schmidt
60 Map of the Month: Penn Central vs. Conrail
We compare the last tonnage map of each railroad: same territory, but totally different traffic strategies. The result? More trains on fewer tracks.
