Until just a few years ago, "Rights of Trains" was required reading for FRA 
Inspectors and still is highly recommended. I agree, it is the difinitive 
work on how railroads operated. Another good book, although also somewhat 
dated now, is Simmons-Boardman's book, "The Railroad - What It Is, What It 
Does". I have the second edition from 1979 but I think it has gone through a 
couple of more printings and probably some updates.
