The Louisville, Cincinnati & Charleston Rail Road


Book Description

Among the grand antebellum plans to build railroads to interconnect the vast American republic, perhaps none was more ambitious than the Louisville, Cincinnati & Charleston. The route was intended to link the cotton-producing South and the grain and livestock growers of the Old Northwest with traders and markets in the East, creating economic opportunities along its 700-mile length. But then came the Panic of 1837, and the project came to a halt. H. Roger Grant tells the incredible story of this singular example of "railroad fever" and the remarkable visionaries whose hopes for connecting North and South would require more than half a century—and one Civil War—to reach fruition.




Railroad Reorganization


Book Description

The following work dives deep into studying the organization problems plaguing the seven railroad companies which failed from 1892 to 1896, and one railroad that was reorganized in 1902. These railroad companies were: Baltimore & Ohio; Erie; Philadelphia & Reading; The Southern; Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe; Union Pacific; Northern Pacific; and Rock Island. Their problems were strikingly alike. It is one of the earliest examples of management case studies, written by Stuart Daggett.
