The Railroad Problem: A Suggestion (1919)

The Railroad Problem: A Suggestion is a book written by Walter Wesley Davis and published in 1919. The book discusses the issues facing the railroad industry at the time and offers a suggestion for how to solve them. Davis argues that the problem lies in the lack of coordination between the different railroad companies, which leads to inefficiencies and higher costs. He proposes the creation of a centralized organization that would oversee all aspects of the railroad industry, including maintenance, scheduling, and pricing. This organization would be run by a board of directors made up of representatives from each of the major railroad companies. Davis believes that this solution would lead to a more efficient and cost-effective railroad system, benefiting both the companies and the public. The Railroad Problem: A Suggestion is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the challenges facing the railroad industry in the early 20th century and the proposed solutions to these challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
