Our inefficient railroads

Chester Arthur Legg reports his view on the inefficiency of railroads. He declares that it is common knowledge that train passengers can expect to arrive hours late to their destination. However, he feels this pales in comparison to the issues surrounding railroad freight service resulting in economic impacts on businesses. He reports the negative impacts of car shortages and the determination of railroad presidents to run their businesses with the least amount of expenditures; even to the detriment of railroad employees. Legg suggests penalties for slow moving cars. He also discusses railroad accidents and safety, and the Interstate Commerce Commission’s lack of railroad experts.
