The book explains how railway regulation shapes prices, service, and national progress.
It analyzes the deep links between railway economics and public control, showing why regulation matters for growth, fairness, and policy.
The material covers the massive scale of American railways and how regulation evolved from early law to modern federal and state controls. It frames the issue around the goal of harmonizing private enterprise with public welfare, using historical foundations and practical analysis to illuminate how rules influence rates, discrimination, and service.- How the extent of mileage, equipment, and workforce underpins regulatory decisions.
- The economic and legal bases for regulation and how they guide rate-making and fairness.
- Differences between state and federal approaches, and how courts shape policy.
- Forms of discrimination, pooling, and cooperation as targets of regulation.
