Vocational education has always suffered from an inferiority complex-a product, perhaps, of the "golden streets" myth that made 19th century immigrants feel that a trade was vaguely unAmerican.

And as Reed is fond of pointing out, the line's most profitable venture on the basis of return on investment is the Golden Gate Fields race track outside San Francisco, where Santa Fe as the property owner receives both rents and a share of the parimutuels.
