Not all the names in the book "loved trains".Too much of the book centered around on man; Jim McClellan (who apparently was a friend of the author), that I never heard of before, even after reading 'The Wreck of the Penn Central' and 'No Way to Run a Railroad' (two other must reads).It filled in many loose ends from those books since this was written fairly recently.It's too bad there was a lack of names mentioned in the last chapter where the blame can be placed regarding the current CSX situation that has been going on for the past 3+ years. Actually, it started in 1999. Conrail should of stayed Conrail.
