How the Railways Will Fix the Future

from Train Time: The Podcast Hosted by Karen Christensen

Today we’re talking with Gareth Dennis, author of How the Railways Will Fix the Future: Rediscovering the Essential Brilliance of the Iron Road in which he builds a case not simply for railways as a common good, but argues that railways are a critical tool for humanity to survive and thrive. We discuss technology, critical minerals, electrification, freight-passenger rail cooperation, manufacturing transitions, and loneliness, too.
