Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This detailed analysis of the cost and service factors of urban electric railways at the turn of the twentieth century is a microcosm of the essential themes of the burgeoning Progressive Era. The author brings together a wealth of data, historical context, technical insights, and case studies to provide a comprehensive view of the complex forces at play in this rapidly developing industry. The first part of the book explores the historical roots of street railway technology, the process of acquiring and consolidating private capital for large projects, and the granting of public franchises. The second part focuses on the complexities of service delivery, discussing the challenges and opportunities of a regulated monopoly providing public transportation. Throughout, the author emphasizes the struggle between private and public interests, with street railway companies seeking to maximize shareholder value while Progressive reformers pushed for lower fares, better service, and increased regulation. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of urban transportation, the development of public utilities, or the Progressive Era.
