Abstract
The first railroad chartered in the United States was the Baltimore and Ohio, in 1828, and the story of the development of the railroads that followed, which made possible the United States as it exists today, is intensely interesting. Other forms of transportation have come into being, and some have grown to a point where they are having a decided influence on the social and economic environments of every community in the Nation. These agencies of transportation, under present conditions, are all competitive with each other, and certain economic influences have developed that apparently have resulted in unfair competition between them.
