Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Well,
Why not start our own list of those "Who's Who" figures if there's no book on the subject?
I read of Lou Menk. Former head of Burlington Northern and CB&Q. Hard charging decision maker. Of course he also deliberately downgraded CB&Q's once very fine passenger service.
Prime Osborne (Seaboard System) & Hays Watkins (Chessie System): At the helm of those railroads when CSX was formed in 1986.
