In the years following World War II, a potent combination of new prosperity, a renewed love affair with the automobile, improved highways, and the availability of commercial air travel contributed to the dwindling number of rail travelers.

Frailey recounts the demise of the pre-Amtrak passenger train in Twilight of the Great Trains.
