Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book contrasts the American and British railway systems of the early 20th century. It examines the differences between their development, such as the American systems' use of timber rather than iron, the low cost of land for railroads in the US, and differences in governmental regulation. The author details how these differences manifested in railroad construction and operations. The book also considers how the increased agricultural and industrial activities in the US led to a surge in freight traffic, requiring larger trains and more powerful locomotives.
