Lost Rail Industry Wealth In 1933 Says Counsel
R V Fletcher of the Association of American Railroads estimates that if railroads had matched 1929 prosperity in 1933 they would have pushed three and one eighth billion dollars more into payments to workers, suppliers, creditors and governments. He notes 1933 spending fell sharply from 1929, with only 12.5 percent of permanent improvements. The shortfall, he argues, stemmed from over taxation, over regulation, and penalties that favored competitors, dampening commerce and mood.
