Wolf is the primary source for information on the related story in the October 2017 issue of Trains, “How science saved the double-stack train.”

  1. I agree with others, the article in Trains was a superb piece of journalism, I found the whole thing fascinating.

  2. I agree, the article was great.

    But I really dislike this headline, because intermodal as a business faces significant service quality and profitability challenges, and so that’s immediately what some of us think of when we see that headline.

  3. This is a fascinating interview…and the TRAINS Magazine story about the derailments and their solutions was just outstanding. Some of the best railroad journalism TRAINS has produced!
