Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the evolution of the railroad rate system used for export and import of goods to and from California, focusing on the transcontinental rates applied between the Pacific Coast and eastern states. It examines the physical characteristics of the Western territory that shaped this complex rate structure, including the significant distances, topography, and sparse population. The author discusses the historical development of transcontinental rate-making practices, highlighting the interplay between competition from water and highway carriers and the strategies employed by railroads to maintain their market share. The book analyzes class rate levels, commodity rate levels, and the use of all-freight rates, providing insights into the economic principles and regulatory frameworks that have influenced the formation of these rates. Through a detailed examination of the transcontinental rate structure, the author offers valuable perspectives on the factors that have shaped the movement of goods between California and the rest of the United States.
