Our Railroads To-Morrow

"Our Railroads To-Morrow" by Edward Hungerford is a look into the troubles of American railroads after World War I. It shows how important trains were for business and communities, but also how they were struggling with problems like not working well and worker issues. The book starts by saying the railroad system is not as strong as it use to be. Hungerford talks about how the war, changes in the workforce, and higher prices have made the railroads less efficient and how workers weren't as happy. He shares a detailed view of how different the train services were across the country, pointing out that New England's railroads were not as good as those in the West. This all sets up a deeper look at the reasons behind the railroad problems and suggests looking at ways to fix them later on.
