Railroad Reorganization
Railroad Reorganization, published in 1908 as the fourth volume of the Harvard Economic Studies, is Stuart Daggett's study of how American railroads were rescued from bankruptcy in the late nineteenth century. In detailed case studies he examines the financial collapse and reorganization of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Erie, the Philadelphia and Reading, the Southern, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the Union Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the Rock Island, tracing the role of bankers, bondholders and receivers in each. A concluding chapter draws general lessons about the causes of failure and the methods of reorganization. It is a specialized work of economic history. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
