| Description |
Patrick Allitt - Cahoon Family Professor of American History “The Resurrection of American Railroads” This lecture will explain why American railroads faced a bankruptcy crisis in the 1970s that led many observers to believe that they no longer served any useful purpose, and should be abandoned. It then explains how the railroads reinvented themselves between 1980 and 2010, enabling them to revive, becoming more profitable, powerful, and useful than ever before. |
