"Our Railroads To-Morrow" by Edward Hungerford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book examines the state of the American railroad system post-World War I, highlighting the challenges it faces, including operational inefficiencies and labor issues. The text reflects on the historical significance of railroads in shaping commerce and society, while discussing the urgent need for reform in an era marked by economic distress and increasing competition. The opening of the book establishes the railroad’s precarious position likening it to the myth of Frankenstein—having built a vital infrastructure, it now teeters on the brink of collapse. Hungerford elaborates on how the aftermath of the war, changing labor dynamics, and escalating material costs have led to a decline in railroad efficiency and morale. He paints a thorough picture of the disparities in railroad service across the United States, particularly focusing on the inadequacies seen in New England compared to the more robust rail systems in the West. Additionally, he hints at the deeper issues that contributed to this crisis, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of potential solutions in the subsequent chapters.
