Historically, railroads occupied a quasi-public role in the rapid development of the country. However, due to their inherent public use, they also fell under extensive state regulation. The author traces how the expansion of federal authority over interstate commerce has both limited and realigned the scope of state regulatory powers. He considers both the direct and indirect impacts of federal regulation, exploring issues such as the permissible limits of state taxation, questions of safety and liability, and the impact upon the railroads' ongoing operations. The author argues that state regulation will continue to play an important and evolving role in the ongoing history of railroading in the United States.
