I cant help wondering who it was....
There exists an Oregon Times magazine article, but I can't find my copy or a reference online. It was about the demise of electric trains in the Willamette Valley. Their assertion was it was a conspiracy between GM, a rubber company and the company that became Greyhound bus.

It was rubber vs steel wheels.
