For our first Magazine Throwback, we review several parts of the March 1990 issue of Trains Magazine, including the then-new partnership between the Santa Fe and trucker J.B. Hunt, railroad crew size changes, and the funeral train of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. All of these are relevant in railroading today, so you won't want to miss out.
