Tight binding, solid spine, good cover, strong hinges & joints, unmarked text. Laid in corrections card. Comprehensive study of small railroads by industry experts, this is the first serious look at short lines since the 1930s. The book examines the history and role of short lines in the US, their economic performance, the federal aid they have received, and the major issues they face. Found throughout the nation, small railroads are the only source of direct railroad service to a multitude of communities. In spite of their relatively large number, they have been given little attention in transportation literature. In undertaking this study, the authors derived great satisfaction from conducting research in an area previously given little attention.
