This book traces the evolution of State Railroad Commissions from their inception in 1830 as advisory bodies to their prominence in the regulation of transportation by rail in the early 20th century. The author meticulously describes the commissions' origins, powers, and duties, highlighting the contrasting approaches of the Massachusetts and Illinois commissions, which shaped the development of two distinct regulatory models. The book also explores the interplay between state and federal regulation, culminating in the establishment of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887. Through a detailed examination of primary sources, including commission reports and legislative debates, the author provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the historical development of railroad regulation in the United States.
