Also examined is the period from 1976 to 1991, when Amtrak finally established an image, buying new equipment and refurbishing old, as well as growing its ridership despite a severely limited budget. Modern and period color photos also illustrate such aspects of Amtrak as its motive power, including the high-speed Acela Express; its diverse array of rolling stock and equipment, much of it inherited from predecessor roads; famous long-distance trains past and present; short-haul comdors. The photography shows Amtrak operations across the country and the book also features a look at where this controversial program is likely to head in the future.
