Accidental Resurgence?: The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway in West Texas: How Oil, Raw Materials, and Agriculture (Tried To) Save the Railroad Industry on the South Plains at Midcentury

What could the oil industry's relationship with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway teach us about finding new ways to profit when challenges arise?As I prepare to announce the release of Accidental Resurgence?, which is my fourth book, you might wonder why we should study the railroad industry in West Texas. Midway through the 20th century, the survival of the AT&SF relied heavily on its relationship with the petroleum and petrochemicals industry. In the process, the rail industry modeled a new business strategy that allowed it to survive well into the 20th century and--almost--to the dawn of the 21st.
