From the rear cover of this 124 page book: "America's fastest passenger trains were developed through an innovative high-speed rail program that spanned more than forty years. For two generations of rail travelers, 'Metroliner' evoked an image of speed and convenience. Conceived when the future of rail travel was in doubt, Metroliner captured the public's attention and arguably led Congress to create Amtrak. This book tells the story of the development, marketing, and operational challenges, all of which led to the train becoming the most-used travel mode in the busy corridor between New York and Washington, D.C."
