All Aboard Episode 050: Magazine Throwback: April 1980 Trains Magazine

from The All Aboard Podcast by All Things Trains · host All Things Trains

For our 50th Episode, we take a look back at one of Phil's favorite magazines: The April, 1980 issue of Trains Magazine. This includes the UP-MP-WP merger, paying for Penn Central, Amtrak's Hlltopper and Floridian, and diesel-electric locomotive depreciation! As always, thanks to all of our fellow #RobberBarons out there, and as always, Stop, Look, & Listen! _______________________ Show Bibliography: 1. Trains Magazine. April 1980.
