Today's trip into transportation excellence reviews the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, competitor to the Seaboard Air Line and a railroad that formed the backbone of today's rail system in the Southeast. We'll talk about history, paint schemes, and the prominent people in its history.

Speaking from the E. Hunter Harrison Chair at the Bell Institute for Advanced Railroad Studies, Phil Bell will also talk about traveling on Amtrak's Siemens Venture Cars, how much Big Tech gets on his nerves when he's trying to do railroad podcasts, and a great place to eat pizza in Chicago. Don't miss this train!
