The CPR
Author: Robert Chodos
Publisher: James Lorimer & Company
ISBN: 9780888620477
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In 1880 the Canadian Pacific Railway was born with an enormously rich legacy--millions of acres of land, millions in cash and plenty of existing rail lines. From an auspicious beginning it grew immensely wealthy and powerful. Robert Chodos, in an unorthodox company history, explains how the CPR did it. He shows how the Railway's growth came primarily as a result of continued favourable treatment from Ottawa, how it managed to avoid government takeover while receiving enormous public subsidies, how it continued to earn huge profits, and how it turned itself into a highly-diversified conglomerate involved in real estate, pulp and paper, mining, and oil as well as every form of transportation. The CPR: A Century of Corporate Welfare is a sharp, uncompromising account of the rise to power of Canada's most iconic corporation.

Analysis and Evaluation of Past Experience in Rationalizing Railroad Networks
Author: James Sloss
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Railroad network rationalization constitutes a process of adjusting the size and configuration of the railroad plant and its utilization in conformity with current and prospective volumes of traffic to obtain optimum efficiency in costs and levels of service. This report reviews the nature and scope of prior efforts to rationalize rail networks, including the Transportation Act of 1920, the Emergency Transportation Act of 1933, abandonments, mergers, and rail-highway coordination. It has been found that, in most respects, these prior schemes have either failed entirely or have achieved less than their anticipated success. Numerous opportunities for improving industry performance have been hampered by interfirm rivalries, managerial insensitivity, employee organizations' opposition, and regulatory constraints imposed by statute or by directive. A recognition both of these restraining factors and of the potential benefits should advance the rationalization process in the future.
