During the tumultuous year of 2008--when gas prices reached $4 a gallon, Amtrak set ridership records, and a commuter train collided with a freight train in California--journalist James McCommons spent a year on America's trains, talking to the people who ride and work the rails throughout much of the Amtrak system. Organized around these rail journeys, Waiting on a Train is equal parts travel narrative, personal memoir, and investigative journalism. Readers meet the historians, railroad executives, transportation officials, politicians, government regulators, railroad lobbyists, and passenger-rail advocates who are rallying around a simple question: Why has the greatest railroad nation in the world turned its back on the very form of transportation that made modern life and mobility possible? Distrust of railroads in the nineteenth century, overregulation in the twentieth, and heavy government subsidies for airports and roads have left the country with a skeletal intercity passenger-rail system. Amtrak has endured for decades, and yet failed to prosper owing to a lack of political and financial support and an uneasy relationship with the big, remaining railroads. While riding the rails, McCommons explores how the country may move passenger rail forward in America--and what role government should play in creating and funding mass-transportation systems. Against the backdrop of the nation's stimulus program, he explores what it will take to build high-speed trains and transportation networks, and when the promise of rail will be realized in America.

“The Bravest” is a label of enormous respect. No higher level of respect can one identify with that of the Fire Department of New York City (FDNY). No greater leadership and traditional institution have I ever been a part of. I never envisioned how my life would virtually spin in so many directions in one year. The dramatic challenge that the FDNY has ahead leaves one breathless.

Through faith in Jesus Christ anyone can accept the free gift of salvation (a ticket for “the train to glory”). The narrator accepted his ticket without fully knowing what it meant. He sought out a mentor, Stan, to guide him in how to mature in his faith while waiting for the train to eternity. Through casual conversations with Stan, the storyteller’s faith grows in practical, everyday situations. As you join him on his journey, you will feel like you’re listening in on a conversation about God, the Bible, and how to experience personal growth while waiting for the train. The readings are based on the author’s years of journaling, which helped him cultivate a deep relationship with the Lord. Each reading is followed by Scripture references that connect to the theme of the day. A prayer and “Think on this” questions tie it all together. Join the author as he is discipled in moving from conversion towards transformation, and what it means for living your life before catching the train. “There is a place in today’s world for stories that present what Jesus says in a different way, a way that resonates in truth without preaching and without overreaching. That is what Waiting for the Train presents.” —From the Foreword by Josh McDowell
