Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book from 1936 provides a remarkable lens through which to comprehend the fundamental trends of the railroad industry in the 1930s. Exploring the complex interplay of economic forces, the author investigates the impact of new technologies, particularly the rise of motor carriers, on railroad transportation. The text delves into the challenges faced by railroads during the Great Depression, shedding light on their reactive measures such as the expansion of maintenance expenditures and the reduction of passenger services due to the growth of highway travel. Furthermore, the book examines the government's role in regulating and supporting the industry through measures like the Emergency Railroad Transportation Act of 1933. Through a meticulous analysis of financial structures, the author underscores the importance of sound management practices and the need for railroads to adapt to the changing transportation landscape. This book remains a valuable resource for understanding the transformative era of the 1930s for the railroad industry and its lasting implications for transportation policy.
