What to do with the New Haven Railroad? (Fall/Winter 2013)

unapi

Geoff Doughty writes how the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad of the 1950s and '60s faced a declining traffic base, diminished political influence, increasing costs, and the demands of both organized labor and the investment community. At the same time, public policymakers were coming to grips with the fact that the New Haven was an indispensible asset. This is the story of how the railroad and public officials came to devise new responses in the face of a dire threat.
