THE STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM of METROPOLITAN BOSTON It seems hardly an exaggeration to say that not only is ' the whole civilized world at work on improved municipal transportation, but every considerable town in both hemispheres is acquiring experience of more or less general value in regard to it, while at the same time seeking to learn the results of experience elsewhere."1 This is more obviously true of material and scientific appliances, viz., cars, motors, conductors and track laying; but in its other and more abstruse aspects the problem is of the utmost hygenic and governmental importance. As a public agency, the electric street railway is now fast revolutionizing the methods of urban life, spreading it over a wider area and subjecting it to new influences; at the same time entailing, in such matters as paving, sewerage and police, vastly increased municipal expenditures. The benefits of the rapid extension of a street railway system are never doubted, for an enormous part of the population is enabled to make its home in the more healthy and pleasant suburbs. It is also established beyond question that these railways are "Natural Monopolies" so far as competition with other lines of traffic is concerned.2 It would be hoping for too much to expect natural monopolies so absolute not to make the most of their opportunities to secure profits far in excess of those secured in ordinary competitive business. The communities are to blame if they tacitly allow the enjoyment of monopoly profits by corporations which freely use the public streets. The people will ride and must ride, whether they like or dislike the corporation which provides the service. One might reasonably expect, therefore, when the relations between the people and these...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of public transit is an integral part of both business and urban history in late nineteenth-century America. The author begins this study in 1880, when public transportation in large American cities was provided by numerous, competing horse-car companies with little or no public control of operation. By 1912, when the study concludes, a monopoly in each city operated a coordinated network of electric-powered streetcars and, in the largest cities, subways, which were regulated by city and state agencies. The history of transit development reflects two dominant themes: the constant pressure of rapid growth in city population and area and the requirements of the technology developed to service that growth. The case studies here include three of the four cites that had rapid transit during this period. Each case study examines, first, the mechanization of surface lines and, second, the implementation of rapid transit. New York requires an additional chapter on steam-powered, elevated railroads, for early population growth there required rapid transit before the invention of electric technology. Urban transit enterprise is viewed within a clear and familiar pattern of evolution--the pattern of the last half of the nineteenth century, when industries with expanding markets and complex, costly processes of production and distribution adopted new strategy and structure, administered by a new class of professional managers.

Download or read book Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System written by Charles L. Ballard and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System features never-before-published photographs documenting the final years of this streetcar system, from 1940 to 1957. Chartered as the Third Avenue Railroad Company in 1853, the system provided streetcar service on Third Avenue from Ann Street to 61st Street. The line eventually extended north to Harlem and across 125th Street and, in its heyday, north of Manhattan into the Bronx and northern Westchester County. Individual lines, such as the Yonkers Railroad, the Westchester Electric Railroad, the Queensborough Bridge Railway Company, and the Union Railway, are featured in this book. Metropolitan New York's Third Avenue Railway System recalls the bygone street scenes of Manhattan, as well as some of the carbarns and work cars and the car-scrapping yard employed by the system.
