The chapters take the reader through topics such as the adoption of the first five-year plan, various bureaucratic reorganisations in NKPS, debates over railway policy occurring in journals, the drafting of the second five-year plan, the resort to repression, the Stakhanovite movement on the railways, the purges, and rail transport and war preparations.
