Freight C arried Cheaply and Railroads Probed
A historic argument favors water routes over rail for cheap freight. European river improvements boosted traffic and rail profits, notably on the Elbe and Main, with German railways showing strong revenues despite state control. The piece cites Bohemia, Prussia, and river canals as proving waterways elevate overall transport profitability and spur state-backed rail funding. Texas road funding follows, with Harris County planning $500,000 to pave 72 miles of rural roads including the Webster Air Line connection to tie to Galveston County.
