Romance of the Rails

American transportation has undergone many technological revolutions: from sailing ships to steam ships; from passenger trains and urban rail transit to airplanes and automobiles.

O'Toole asks why passenger trains have been singled out -- and whether this policy makes sense. -- adapted from jacket
