Synopsis
This book details the inception of the Board of Railroad Commissioners in Iowa. It contains their reports and findings, and covers the time immediately after their establishment. The Commissioners' proceedings demonstrate the challenges and issues inherent in the work of railroad corporations, showcasing disagreements with railroad companies over charges and conditions. These issues were not always due to malicious intent but could arise from miscommunication or differences of perspective between the railroad companies and the public. The author includes the full text of legal decisions and stipulations to provide readers with the opportunity to examine the full context of the proceedings. This volume includes the Commissioners' recommendations for revision of the regulations surrounding bridge safety to improve efficiency. It also includes a precedent-setting decision regarding a dispute between the Central Railroad Company of Iowa and the Excelsior Coal Company over the operation of the Excelsior's private switch. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the burgeoning railroad industry of the time period and provides a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of regulating such powerful corporations.
