The Northeast Corridor: The Trains, the People, the History, the Region
Private agendas and the public good: The contested development of high-speed passenger rail transport in the United States
During the 1960s, the United States Department of Commerce (and later the Department of Transportation) cooperated with the Pennsylvania Railroad (later, Penn Central) to develop the Metroliner, an American version of the Japanese Shinkansen. Federal officials possessed overtly political motives, including an effort to build political support for the Democratic Party in the heavily urbanized Northeast. Railroad executives sought federal subsidies…
America's First Interstate: The National Road, 1806-1853
More than any other transportation artery, the National Road embodied geographic mobility and westward expansion—core elements in America's national origin story. Historians have largely ignored that highway, however, perhaps because it represents the inability of the federal system to articulate a coherent national transportation policy. The 1787 Northwest Ordinance opened the Ohio Valley to settlement and statehood. Highway access to the area f…

Rock Island Requiem: The Collapse of a Mighty Fine Line
Union Pacific: The Reconfiguration; America's Greatest Railroad from 1969 to the Present
The Union Pacific Railroad (UP) has recently received considerable attention from historians, with some of their assessments distinctly more favorable than others. Maury Klein provides a perspective that differs markedly from the work of Richard White in Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America (2011). While the two works delineate different stages of the UP’s history, both scrutinize the actions of top-level managers wh…
Delivery to the Customer's Door: Efficiency, Regulatory Policy, and Integrated Rail-Truck Operations, 1900–1938
During the first third of the twentieth century, U. S. railroad executives offered local collection and delivery trucking operations. Railroad managers claimed, with justification, that these services were necessary to reduce congestion at urban freight terminals, and to increase the operating efficiency. Yet, executives also employed collection and delivery practices to discriminate against shippers and communities, and to draw business away fro…

From Steam to Diesel: Managerial Customs and Organizational Capabilities in the Twentieth-Century American Locomotive Industry
Corporate Culture and Marketing in the American Railway Locomotive Industry: American Locomotive and Electro-Motive Despond to Dieselization
By the 1930s, the American Locomotive Company (ALCo) and the Electromotive Company (EMC) controlled the diesel locomotive industry. Although ALCo enjoyed sound financial status, decades of experience in steam locomotive production, and close ties with its customers, it quickly lost ground to the newly established EMC. Electromotive's founder, Harold Hamilton, emphasized the importance of marketing, including post-sales support services, and his s…
