I've read my copy through twice already. Used it for a good chunk of my bachelor's thesis, too. It's a good read, not as technical as Wreck of the Penn Central or The Fallen Colossus, but it makes the story more accessible for the average railfan. I do believe everyone here should have a copy as the story it tells had a major impact on railroading around the country and is largely responsible for the way the industry works now.
