"New Departures: Rethinking Rail Passenger Policy in the Twenty-First Century" asserts that the US and Canadian goverments need to assert what they want their passenger rail systems to do. Thee book suggests partnerships between government and private industry. Review by Owen Hardy.
"Bestandsaufnahme Deutsche Bahn. Das Abenteuer einer Privatisierung" covers events up untill 1998 and details how and why Germany decided it could no longer mix politics with business.
"Derailed: What Went Wrong and What to Do About America's Passenger Trains" is about antiquated, absurd laws, and a deeply jealous Amtrak which stifles innovative non-Amtrak initiatives. No government is determined enough to break this fortress of mediocrity.
