The author argues that the concerns raised by American legislators about Canadian railway competition were unfounded, and that the Canadian railroads played a crucial role in moderating freight and passenger rates in the United States. The book also highlights the crucial role of Canadian railroads in facilitating US exports and imports, particularly with New England and the West. By presenting previously unpublished archival research, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic, legal, and political dimensions of the Canadian railroad question, and reveals the intricate interplay between the railroads, government, and the public.
