Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth examination of a railroad venture in Virginia, the Portsmouth and Roanoke Railroad, and the challenges it faced. Set against the backdrop of railroad expansion in the region, the author provides an insider's view of the intense competition and financial struggles that plagued the railroad. The book explores the strategies employed by the company to attract business and generate revenue, including fare reductions and strategic alliances. It also sheds light on the role of the Virginia state legislature in regulating the railroad industry and mediating conflicts between competing lines. Through a comprehensive analysis of primary source materials, the author offers valuable insights into the complexities of railroad development in the 19th century and the broader economic and political forces that shaped its trajectory.
