Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines plans for two competing railway lines to be constructed between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The author argues that both proposals are based on overly optimistic financial projections, and identifies several errors in the calculations of anticipated revenue and expenses. The author compares these plans to a previously built railway and two existing canals to highlight the uncertainty and risks involved in railway investments. The author concludes that the proposed railways are unlikely to be profitable and warns potential shareholders to carefully consider the financial risks before investing.
