Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between railroads and the charges they levy for transporting goods. Railroads are a unique type of corporation, blending private interests with public obligations. Their rates must balance the need for profit with the essential public service they provide. The author examines the historical development of railroad rates, from their origins as tolls for passage along privately owned tracks to the complex tariffs of today. The book delves into the economic principles that govern rate-setting, including the concepts of cost and value of service. It also analyzes the role of competition and regulation in shaping railroad rates, highlighting the tension between the railroads' need for revenue and the public's interest in affordable transportation. Ultimately, the book argues that a deep understanding of these principles is crucial for evaluating the fairness and impact of railroad rates.
