About this book

The Country's Need of Greater Railway Facilities and Terminals is a compelling address delivered by Frank Trumbull at the Annual Dinner of the Railway Business Association in New York City on December 19, 1912. In this insightful speech, Trumbull, a prominent figure in the American railway industry, articulates the pressing necessity for expanded and modernized railway infrastructure to meet the growing demands of commerce, industry, and the general public in the early twentieth century. He discusses the challenges faced by the nation's railroads, including congestion at terminals, inadequate facilities, and the limitations imposed by outdated equipment and insufficient investment. Trumbull emphasizes the critical role that railways play in the economic development and prosperity of the United States, arguing that efficient transportation is essential for the movement of goods, agricultural products, and people across vast distances. He calls for greater cooperation between government, business leaders, and the railway companies to secure the capital and legislative support needed for expansion and improvement. The address also touches on the broader implications of railway development for national unity, economic competitiveness, and the well-being of American society. Rich in historical context and forward-looking in its vision, this work provides a valuable perspective on the infrastructure challenges and opportunities of its era, making it an important resource for historians, transportation enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the evolution of American industry and public policy.
