Georgia Lessons On Railroads And State Policy
The argument against new Seaboard rail lines mirrors Georgia's 1880 decision to support parallel routes to Atlanta. Georgia’s state railroad earnings rose after competition, from $1,274,489 annually to about $1,298,690, proving that parallel lines boost revenue, open new business, and lift wages. The piece urges Virginia and other southern states to back the Seaboard consolidation, warning against obstruction and stressing the Southern Railway’s growth role.
