Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crux of the Railroad Difficulty
Yet, railroad building has practically ceased. The year 1915 saw less new railroad con struction in this country than in any year since the Civil War, and the beginning of the year 1916 also saw less new track under way than on any New Year's Day in fifty years.
That means that double tracking, sidings, etc necessary to prevent in the future such a congestion as that now prevailing, are not being built.
Railroad managers are just as eager as ever to build and improve railroads, and the reason they are not embarking upon great improvement plans, is that they cannot get the money.
