Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Tms volume owes its existence to a suggestion of Dr. Arthur S. Dewing, formerly of the Economics faculty of Yale Uni versity, now of the Harvard, that the consolidation of a number of short railroads along the South Atlantic Seaboard into the Atlantic Coast Line System illustrates well the growth of the holding company period of American rail roads and its decline. To determine to what extent this is true the work was originally undertaken. It soon became evident that the location of the early constituent roads was determined by the geographical influence of the fall line, and that they, when once built, had a peculiarly marked influence on the economic conditions of the section of country through which they ran. As the work progressed it seemed worth while to broaden somewhat its scope and to make a study of the history of the road with the economic history and economic condi tions of the section as a background. The results of this study were submitted to and accepted by the Yale faculty as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. With changes and additions they now appear in permanent form and may be summarized as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Florida Railroads in the 1920s written by Gregg Turner and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida's railroads emerged in the 1830s amid Native American upheaval and territorial colonization. Many periods of development marked this fascinating heritage, but one era towers above the rest: the 1920s. It was then that Florida experienced a colossal land boom, one of the greatest migration and building stories in American history. People poured into the state as never before, real estate traded hands at breakneck speed, and the landscape added countless new homes, hotels, apartments, and commercial buildings. Florida's biggest railroads--the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, and Florida East Coast--were unprepared for the tidal wave of traffic. Thus, the "Big Three" had to rapidly expand and increase capacity. Dozens of projects unfolded at great cost, by one estimate over $100 million. When the building frenzy ended, the railway map of the state stood at its greatest extent--some 5,700 miles. Further, the frequency of railway service within and to the Sunshine State reached an unprecedented level, never again to be repeated.

CHAPTER IX SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION In tracing the history of the various railroads which went into the Atlantic Coast Line System and the consolidation of these into a unit, one sees epitomized practically the entire railroad history of the United States. The charter of the first road was secured in 1830, the same year as the introduction of the steam engine on the Baltimore and Ohio. The beginning of the Atlantic Coast Line, therefore, goes back to the earliest days of the railroad era. During the first decade, 1830 to 1840, railroads were universally considered as supplementary to canals and navigable rivers, furnishing a connecting link where it was impossible to secure other connection. It was not supposed that they would supplant water transportation and develop into an entirely new and independent means of communication. This period of railroad history is typified in the Atlantic Coast Line System by the building of the two Virginia roads connecting the fall line towns. These roads were built as a part of the system of internal improvements undertaken by the state. They were private undertakings, but were encouraged and aided by the state which invested in them to the amount of two fifths of their capital stock. Being among the earliest roads proposed in the United States, they enjoyed a period of popular favor and secured charters so liberal as now to seem absurd. The second period of railroad expansion, from 1840 to 1860, is marked by the growth of closer union among roads and the development of the railroads into an independent transportation system. Roads for the most part remained separate units but cooperated through informal agreements, not always without friction, and divided the income from through traffic, usually in...

Download or read book The Pennsylvania Railroad Volume 1 written by Albert J. Churella and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do not think of the Pennsylvania Railroad as a business enterprise," Forbes magazine informed its readers in May 1936. "Think of it as a nation." At the end of the nineteenth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the largest privately owned business corporation in the world. In 1914, the PRR employed more than two hundred thousand people—more than double the number of soldiers in the United States Army. As the self-proclaimed "Standard Railroad of the World," this colossal corporate body underwrote American industrial expansion and shaped the economic, political, and social environment of the United States. In turn, the PRR was fundamentally shaped by the American landscape, adapting to geography as well as shifts in competitive economics and public policy. Albert J. Churella's masterful account, certain to become the authoritative history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, illuminates broad themes in American history, from the development of managerial practices and labor relations to the relationship between business and government to advances in technology and transportation. Churella situates exhaustive archival research on the Pennsylvania Railroad within the social, economic, and technological changes of nineteenth- and twentieth-century America, chronicling the epic history of the PRR intertwined with that of a developing nation. This first volume opens with the development of the Main Line of Public Works, devised by Pennsylvanians in the 1820s to compete with the Erie Canal. Though a public rather than a private enterprise, the Main Line foreshadowed the establishment of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1846. Over the next decades, as the nation weathered the Civil War, industrial expansion, and labor unrest, the PRR expanded despite competition with rival railroads and disputes with such figures as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. The dawn of the twentieth century brought a measure of stability to the railroad industry, enabling the creation of such architectural monuments as Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The volume closes at the threshold of American involvement in World War I, as the strategies that PRR executives had perfected in previous decades proved less effective at guiding the company through increasingly tumultuous economic and political waters.
