For me, that "day from hell" was March 20, 1995. If I'd had time to keep a diary, it would have read like this: 7:30 a.m. The day begins routinely at our 35-bed hospital. I do rounds, induce labor, and prepare to perform a stress test. I plan to head to the clinic by

"We don't do big flashy things, either in the marketplace or on the operational side," says Jim Hagen, chairman and chief executive officer of Conrail. Instead, Conrail focuses on "doing things in a very professional way," which Hagen likens to consistently hitting singles and doubles rather than home runs. This is the approach that the railroad has taken in what is an extremely competitive marketplace. It's one that is paying off.
