Private Freight Cars and American Railways (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Private Freight Cars and American Railways

My work has been hampered by a lack of material due to the reluctance of private - car companies to divulge facts concerning their earnings or their relations with the rail roads. What data I have been able to secure in regard to the earnings of private cars and similar questions have come from various sources and contain many conflicting statements. For these reasons I have been compelled in many instances to resort to approximations. In dividing my work into chapters I have found the different phases of the question so closely related that I have been forced to repeat certain facts in different connections, but I trust that what is gained in clearness will more than counter balance any tediousness resulting from such repetition.

I wish to express my appreciation of the interest evinced and the substantial aid given by the many railroad officials.
