Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

  • Crisis of Rugged Individualism the West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885
    Crisis of Rugged Individualism The West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885 HE last quarter of the nineteenth century traditionally has been viewed as an era in which the economic development of Tthe nation was speeded by a social climate almost perfectly conducive to business enterprise. With a highly sympathetic govern- ment behind him and a docile, unorganized labor force at his disposal, the entrepreneur is supposed to have been free from the major im- ponderables of modern industrial life. Hardly less important, it has been widely assumed, was the businessman's almost complete free- dom to plan and execute projects with a minimum of worry about how his decisions might affect others of his own kind. A spirit of in- dividualism in the commitment of one's own property had, indeed, characterized the small, closely-held enterprises which made up American business from its beginnings down to the end of the Civil War. Few have questioned the extent to which rugged individualism continued to rule throughout the eighties in the rapidly expanding railroad industry, even though by 1880 the numerous individual en- terprises were rapidly being woven into an industry of highly inter- dependent units, into which Americans and Europeans had poured hundreds of millions of dollars of investment capital in the preceding thirty years. Such beliefs about the business climate of the eighties and nineties culminated in a stereotype of the late-nineteenth-century business- man which Edward C. Kirkland articulates with the words "primi- tive," "strong," "confident," and "enthusiastic."1 The successful undertakings of these men, he points out, have been emphasized so exclusively that some of the most disapproving writers have come 1 Edward C* Kirkland, Dream and Thought in the Business Community, 1860-1900 (Ithaca, 1956), 8.

  • Coal District Scenario Pack 01
    Realistic Contemporary and Historical Scenarios for Train Simulator Coal District Scenario Pack 01 About High Iron Simulations We began serving the Train Simulator community in October 2012 by developing and publishing free Train Simulator scenarios to Steam Workshop — and we're pleased that our series of more than 300 Steam Workshop free scenarios have been downloaded by Train Simulator enthusiasts more than 750,000 times. As a Train Simulator Partner Programme member, we collaborate with Dovetail Games to produce realistic scenario packs for Train Simulator routes. The Norfolk Southern Coal District Route What was, historically, the Monongahela Railway is today owned by Norfolk Southern and is often referred to as NS’s “MGA Mine District,” or simply the “Mon.” South from the Brownsville area and east of the river is the Monongahela’s old Eastern Division (now known as the Loveridge Secondary), which reaches deep into West Virginia. And from West Brownsville, a group of interlinked “branches” – the West Brownsville branch, Ten Mile Run branch, Manor branch, and Waynesburg Southern branch – combine into what was the Monongahela’s West Division. The Monongahela was incorporated in 1900 as a joint venture of two railroads - the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie (which was controlled by the equally mighty New York Central) in order to tap the coal fields of southwest Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. In1927, yet another eastern railroad giant – the Baltimore & Ohio – acquired a one-third interest in the expanding Monongahela, thus joining PRR and P&LE as owners. By 1930, the Monongahela was operating more than 170 miles of track and served more than a half-dozen active coal mines.
