Intermixed with these biographical sketches are numerous pages of photos depicting Amtrak people, equipment, op- erations and facilities during the indicat- ed decade. Most of these are presented in color, with a small percentage being in black and white.

ry and the look to the future, the editors have provided a most interesting, 28- page photo-documentary entitled “A Day in the Life of Amtrak, 24 Hours of the Amtrak Story.” In this segment they have assembled photos from all across the Amtrak system and selected photos of activities in each of the 24 hours in a day. From awaiting the arrival of the City of New Orleans at Newbern, Ten- nessee, at 12:20 a.m., to the arrival of a New York–Albany train at Poughkeep- sie, New York, at 11:52 p.m., we are giv- en an inside look at what it takes to keep Amtrak “on the rails.” Indicative of the family aspect, the
book closes with a dedication to the Am- trak employees who lost their lives in the performance of their duties as Amtrak employees, a truly fitting final chapter in the history of Amtrak’s first 40 years. The reader will find Amtrak, An Amer-
