Railroad Construction Shows Enormous Increase
The Philadelphia Press notes the U S built about 100 900 miles of steam roads between 1890 and 1917 raising total to 260 000 miles an increase of roughly 65 percent in 27 years averaging just under 4 000 miles annually. No major new construction in the past two years under Government control and future buildout depends on policy to attract new capital as investors seek safer returns amid postwar capital flows.
