| The Wreck of the Penn Central
Daughen & Binzen. "…a great book…" - The New York Times. Though it took ten years of laborious planning and grueling negotiations to merge rail giants Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central under one flag, it took only 867 days for this new monster - the Penn Central - to collapse. This book offers you a ringside seat to this debacle that was, at the time, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. You'll get close-up views of the events that brought the PC to its knees, some of which include over-regulation, subsidized competition, greed, backstabbing, and even a little sex. 370 pages, 34 B&W illustrations, 5˝"x 8˝", softcover.
