Excerpt from The History of Steel Railway Rails: Thesis
Furthermore, the steel rail is of interest to the world in general; on account of the large number of people employed in its manufacture; the necessity for safe transportation of pass enger and freight traffic; and because of the vast amount of commerce which is being carried on at the present time.
It is also true that many of the steel rail mills are owned and operated by the great steel trust. This accounts partly for the high prices of steel rails, and the excessive tariff rates demanded by railroads, both for passenger and freight service.
