Rush Loving

A "sweeping and grand epic on the renaissance of American railroading" from the Fortune journalist and author of The Men Who Loved Trains (The Baltimore Sun).

 

After decades of covering the railroad industry for Fortune magazine, journalist Rush Loving Jr. offers his unique insider's view into the many dramas, triumphs, failures, and adventures of the great American railroads. Loving has shared meals and journeys with everyone from the industry's greatest leaders to conductors, brakemen and even a few hobos. Now, in this fascinating combination of history and memoir, he recalls the many colorful people he's met on the rails.

 

Loving shares stories he collected in locomotive cabs, business cars, executive suites and even the White House. They paint a compelling, intimate portrait of the railroad industry and its leaders, both inept and visionary. Above all, Loving tells stories of the dedicated men and women who truly love trains and know the industry from the rails up.
