Synopsis
Discover the scale and structure of freight transport in early 20th‑century America.
This book explains how railways move goods, not just people, and why freight is vital to daily life and the economy.
Freight traffic statistics are presented in a clear, systematic way. You’ll find explanations of terms, how railways measure their “plant” and equipment, and how capacity, tonnage, and mileage relate to costs and performance. The narrative compares freight with passenger service and shows why the freight business often plays the starring role in railway operations and finances.What you’ll experience
- Plain definitions of key terms such as track, main track, yard track, and equipment categories
- How ton-miles, averages per train, and freight density reveal usage patterns across regions
- Data on locomotives, freight cars, and capital as of 1914, with historical context from earlier decades
- Observations on growth trends, regional differences, and the shift toward more intensive railway development
