Book Recommendations on Modern Train Businesses

Recommended Posts

All,

 

I am looking for book recommendations on modern railroad operations like the Class 1, and perhaps the Class 2.

 

I'd like to learn about the drivers, competitive dynamics, strategy, etc.  All that cool ins and outs of what it takes to be successful wand what are the killers.  Metrics for success and failure.  If there was an analysis of trucking vs. rail, vs barge...  that would be the cat's pajamas!

 

I am planning on starting my own railroad and I am doing a little background investigation.  KIDDING..  I like the transpiration industry!

 

Thanks in advance.

The recent Matt Rose interview linked in another thread is great

 

A couple recent under the radar books (but less focused on industry competitive advantage are)

Riding The Rails, Inside the Business of America's Railroads - memoir of Robert Krebs, he elevated Rose
