The book covers the predecessor sleepers dating to the 1800s, the origins of the train as the "Broad Way Limited" (a nod to the Pennsy's multi-track route), its development and transformation as part of the Fleet of Modernism, cooperation and competition among the railroads after World War II in the face of airplane and private automobiles, and the takeover by Amtrak. Illustrated throughout with a mix of black and white and color photos. 96 pages.
