Publisher's Synopsis

""English and American Railroads Compared"" by Edward B. Dorsey is a comprehensive book that explores the similarities and differences between the railroad systems in England and the United States. The author draws on his extensive knowledge of both countries' railroads to provide a detailed analysis of the technical, economic, and social aspects of the industry. The book covers topics such as locomotives, track construction, signaling systems, freight and passenger transportation, and the role of the government in regulating the railways. Dorsey also examines the cultural impact of the railroads, including the development of tourism and the influence of the railroad on American and English literature. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and evolution of the railroad industry in these two countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
