Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This volume compiles statistics on the US railway system, following the model set by the 1888 first annual report on the subject by the Interstate Commerce Commission. It provides a comprehensive overview of the year ending June 30, 1889, detailing railway mileage, equipment, and personnel and organizing this data by region and rail gauge. Beyond these essential elements, the author explores the relationships among railways and the companies, both subsidiary and proprietary, which operate them. The author also analyzes railway capital and classifies railway bonds according to their duration. The statistical tables extend to railway service, earnings and expenses, income and expenditures, distinguishing between operating and fixed charges. The author examines financial operations and includes a summary of railway accident statistics. This book provides a wealth of information, not only for railway professionals, but for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a vital industry of the past. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
