The Railroad Question A historical and practical treatise on railroads, and remedies for their abuses

** "The Railroad Question" by William Larrabee is a deep exploration of railways in the 1800s. The book looks at the big question of who should own these important transportation systems: private companies or the government. The author shares his own journey from believing in private ownership to thinking the government should take charge to fix the problems he saw. The book covers the history of transportation, including the rise of railways and why they need to be managed well for everyone's benefit. The goal is to help people understand the complex issues surrounding railways, like the laws about them and who should own them. **
