Train Fever by H. P. Barker part-time member of the British Transport Commission
Most of the world's railways are in trouble. Mr. Barker maintains that the root reason is not that railways are uneconomic or obsolete but that, from being virtually the sole carriers of everything, they are engaged in the painful transformation to a new state where they share the business with competitors. He suggests that the dominant problems of transforming a railway are not related to size but to the complexity of its operation. He thinks that simplification is the medicine to offer.
