Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction book presents an in-depth analysis of the financial crisis faced by railroads in Western United States in 1919. The author draws on data from railroads operating over 247,000 miles of track, to build a compelling case for an urgent increase in freight rates. Supported by statistics, the book argues that the current revenue is inadequate to cover operating expenses and modernization costs, resulting in the deterioration of essential infrastructure and services. The author emphasizes that railroads are critical to the nation's economic growth and prosperity, and their financial health is directly linked to the well-being of the country. The book highlights the need for prompt action to address the crisis, arguing that substantial increases in rates are necessary to attract investment, improve services, and ensure a robust transportation system. This well-researched and data-driven book provides a valuable insight into the financial challenges faced by railroads in the early 20th century, and its analysis remains relevant to contemporary discussions on infrastructure investment and economic development. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
