Railroad Freight Rates in Relation to the Industry and Commerce of the United States (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Railroad Freight Rates in Relation to the Industry and Commerce of the United States
The steps of the development of the freight rate struc tures have been largely attained through discussions, of which the records have disappeared, and through cor respondence no longer in existence. They remain in the memory of the veteran traflic managers who have readily imparted much of the information contained in these pages. Their recollection, however, has confessedly not always been exact as to dates, leaving it possible, in parts of the book, to show only the general sequence Of the development.
The mission has been greatly facilitated by the lec tureship on transportation which the writer holds at Johns Hopkins University, and by an extended experi ence in active railroad service. Partial results of this research have been embodied in lectures delivered at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, Yale University, the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin; in articles that have appeared in the North American Review, the Political Science Quarterly, Rail way Age, Railroad Gazette, Railway World, and news papers of various cities. These lectures and articles have been freely used in the preparation of this volume.
