Rebirth of the Missouri Pacific, 1956-1983
by H. Craig Miner

In 1956 the Missouri Pacific Railroad emerged on the corporate scene after twenty-three years in receivership. Craig Miner describes the physical and financial revolution of the railroad, focusing on the computerized, merger-dominated 1960s and 1970s and portraying the railroad business as a classic example of a tradition-bound industry forced to adapt to "future shock."
