The story of the Challenger passenger train is an extraordinary account of how a positive venture was designed not only to retain current passengers, but to attract new ones. The business concepts were very human, designed to create a sense of caring and a sense of community aboard the trains. There is no doubt about it-the name 'The Challenger' fit the description of the situation facing the Union Pacific and its partner railroads during the Depression. The 'Challenge' was met -and highballed into a new era of American passenger train travel. Chapters focus on the concept of the train, modernized equipment, new streamlined equipment, motive power and a final chapter on the Challenger inside an out in color. Includes reproduction of advertising material, menus, rosters and some car diagrams. Retail $19.95.
