The Motor Truck as an Asset to Railroad Operation
Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 85, Issue 1
Abstract
During 1922, more, improved highways will be constructed in the United States than ever before in a similar time. Federal, State, county, and city appropriations, aggregating more than $1 000 000 000 are being set aside for this purpose. It is the passenger vehicle that makes road construction a question of popular interest and this enormous undertaking possible, but it is the motor truck that sets the standard of road construction and makes the expenditure of economic interest. Railroads are concerned in this work, as they are taxpayers to the extent of more than $200 000 000 yearly, a large part of which goes into the highway budget.
