Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the much-misunderstood topic of American railway capitalization, providing valuable insights into its history and current state. It starts by dispelling the myth of excessive capitalization, revealing that the average value of American railways is significantly lower than their European counterparts. The author argues that the perception of inflated capitalization stems from a flawed understanding of railway finance. The book methodically analyzes the various types of railway securities, demonstrating that the commonly cited aggregate value is an unreliable measure of true worth. In fact, evidence suggests that the current worth of American railways exceeds their capitalization. This book also highlights the substantial improvements made to railway infrastructure and equipment in recent decades, facilitated by reinvestment of profits. It shows that railways have become more efficient and productive without increasing their average capitalization. As a result, each mile of rail and each freight train can now handle significantly more traffic, adding to the value of the system. The book concludes by debunking the unfounded claim that railway capitalization has a direct impact on rates. Thorough analysis of historical data reveals that freight rates have been declining even as railway capitalization has increased. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of railway capitalization, dispelling misconceptions and offering a balanced perspective on its significance in the American railway system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
