...behold-especially the gold mohair seats and the 136 acoustical clouds designed by Leo L. Beranek to hang from the ceiling and reflect the sound. Alas, the $17.7 million hall was something else to hear-strident, cold, weak in bass. In succeeding years, a series of four acoustical repair jobs (total cost: $2.5 million) were made, culminating in the replacement of the entire ceiling in 1969. But to little avail.

Unlike many other railroads, the Santa Fe spends money heavily on keeping its roadbed in good repair even in bad times. Says Operations Vice President Larry Cena: "You can't just be doing maintenance work when business is good. That's when you need the plant."
