Book excerpt: A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize "A powerful book, crowded with telling details and shrewd observations." —Michael Kazin, New York Times Book Review The transcontinental railroads were the first corporate behemoths. Their attempts to generate profits from proliferating debt sparked devastating economic panics. Their dependence on public largesse drew them into the corridors of power, initiating new forms of corruption. Their operations rearranged space and time, remade the landscape of the West, and opened new ways of life and work. Their discriminatory rates sparked a new antimonopoly politics. The transcontinentals were pivotal actors in the making of modern America, but the triumphal myths of the golden spike, Robber Barons larger than life, and an innovative capitalism all die here. Instead we have a new vision of the Gilded Age, often darkly funny, that shows history to be rooted in failure as well as success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Economics: A Text-Book for Investors and Students In no other country and at no previous time have railroad operations received as much attention as at present in the United States, and it is doubtful whether these matters have ever been more fla grantly misinterpreted. The economic importance of American railroads and the participation of the people as individual investors in their rapid growth and development creates a demand for the proper understanding of railroad activities and operating results. Government regulation under the Inter state Commerce Act has promoted and assisted this demand. The publications of the Federal and State commissions are now as important sources of statistical, information as the reports issued by the individual railroad companies. These published sta tistical returns are in many ways useful to the rail road manager, to the investor and to the public. The expensiveness of compilation and the liability to abuse and misinterpretation render necessary the utmost wariness and care in analyzing such data.

CHAPTER III RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF THE UNITED STATES Development of Railroad Systems. The individual lines comprising the vast net work of American railroads for the most part can be conveniently grouped in accordance with system organization and geographical location. This arises from the fact that railroad expansion followed along the important channels of trade between great centers of traffic. A number of ill-defined geographical zones were gradually established, each comprising a region of large traffic interchange. These regions marked the territorial limits of many of the great railroads and became the basis of regional freight rate structures.1 Thus, in the early years of American rail transportation, the aim was to connect the Atlantic ports with the Great Lakes and with the Ohio and Mississippi River settlements. The pioneer American railroad enterprise, The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, as its name implies was built to handle the traffic interchange which had formerly passed by turnpike between the tide-water sections of the East to the fertile region beyond the Alleghenies. The proposed construction of the Erie Railroad by the State of New York in the early thirties had the paramount 1 See McPherson, "Railroad Freight Rates," etc., Chapter VII. object of facilitating and promoting the intercourse between the metropolis of the State and the Lake Erie ports. In course of time, railroad development advanced sufficiently to permit through shipments from one extreme of the natural geographical divisions to another. The railroad companies whose lines afforded this continuous transportation came to be known as trunk lines. This distinguishes them from local lines which serve only intermediate sections and which must interchange...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.
