Railroad Management and the Interplay of Federal and State Regulation, 1885–1916*

William R. Doezema

Business History Review, 1976, vol. 50, issue 2, 153-178

Abstract: A content analysis of two major rail journal leads the author to conclude that too many historians have overestimated the radicalism of state regulation and have also operated on the questionable assumption that rail managers wanted the elimination of patchwork state controls in favor of uniform national regulation. Further, he maintains that the Transportation Act of 1920 was more a reversal than a continuation or logical culmination of Progressive regulation.
