Biographies of several important individuals connected to railroads or mass transit: George Alpert, Robert Young, John W. Barriger, Van Swerigen brothers, Robert Moses.
Robert Moses: Against Mass Transit
Did you ever wonder who messed up the mass transit system in New York City? An in-depth look at Robert Moses and his life. Between 1924 and 1968 he held immense power. It can be argued that Robert Moses shaped New York in its present form. He built every major highway except the East River Drive, all seven bridges completed since 1931. But he didn't do much for mass transit.
Oris P. and Mantis J. Van Sweringen
Short biography of Oris P. and Mantis J. Van Sweringen two brothers from rural Ohio who built a railroad empire when railroads were more critical to American transportation. The center of their empire was Cleveland.
John W. Barriger: Rail Historian and Railfan

Robert Young and the New York Central Railroad
Robert Young. The New York Central Railroad. Some of the most fascinating railroad literature of the 1940's are transcripts of this unusual man's testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission. At year-end 1943, New York Central closed at 18 �, which meant Delaware and Hudson Railroad had an investment of $5,711,250.
