Synopsis
This book elucidates the engrossing field of railroad economics, showcasing a curated assembly of noteworthy historical documents and expert opinions on railroad regulation and practices in the United States. The author's intention is twofold: to equip students with primary source material for classroom analysis and to provide transportation professionals with accessible insights into the evolution of railroads. Railroads: Rates and Regulation traces the historical development of railroading, from the era of speculative ventures and financial scandals in the early 19th century to the implementation of government regulation in the late 19th century. The book delves deeply into critical topics such as personal discrimination and the prevention of unfair practices, economic waste due to excessive competition, the ever-present tension between relative rates for competing markets, and the inherent difficulty of determining the just and reasonable level of railroad rates. By examining these issues through the lens of landmark court cases, government reports, and expert analyses, this book offers valuable perspectives on the intricate dynamics of railroad economics.
