Excerpt from Through Routes for Chicago's Steam Railroads: The Best Means for Attaining Popular and Comfortable Travel for Chicago and Suburbs His book presents two propositions. The first is that Chicago's urgent need for bet ter means of fast and comfortable local travel should be largely met by its steam lines; the second is that these should, to that end, be organized on the through route plan. The steam lines are mostly elevated already above street interference, they rep resent the highest speed in travel, they fan out thickly over the city, they have their own rights of-way and so minimize public suffering from the noise, dust and danger incident to fast travel, and they have a wide margin of unused capacity. The through-route idea, making as it does for normal city development and for the spread of population, is beginning to be recognized as the basic principle of city planning for large communities. Its application to local travel routes is indispensable to sound and far-sighted city planning for Chicago. The idea is indeed accepted in practice now for all local passen ger railways in Chicago except the steam lines - which still operate entirely on the ter minal plan. It is believed that a properly designed and operated system of through routes for local travel on the Steam lines would constitute, from a broad city planning standpoint, the most efficient trunk factor for a logical trunk-and-feeder scheme of passenger travel for the entire city and its suburbs, and would yield more accommodation in rapid transit for the same outlay than could be secured in any other way. Such fitness as the author may have for discussing this subject comes from the investigations made by him as secretary of the Special Street Railway Committee of the City Council of Chi cago in l897-8, and from personal study before and especially since then of passenger traffic and housing conditions in American and foreign cities. The opinions here expressed were first outlined by the author in the series of transportation discussions held by the City Club last year, and. So far as known to him, constitute the first advocacy of the idea that the steam rail roads of Chicago ought to serve in a large way for local travel.

The coming of the railways signalled the transformation of European society, allowing the quick and cheap mass transportation of people and goods on a previously unimaginable scale. By the early decades of the twentieth century, however, the domination of rail transport was threatened by increased motorised road transport which would quickly surpass and eclipse the trains, only itself to be challenged in the twenty-first century by a renewal of interest in railways. Yet, as the studies in this volume make clear, to view the relationship between road and rail as a simple competition between two rival forms of transportation, is a mistake. Rail transport did not vanish in the twentieth century any more than road transport vanished in the nineteenth with the appearance of the railways. Instead a mutual interdependence has always existed, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each system. It is that interdependence that forms the major theme of this collection. Divided into two main sections, the first part of the book offers a series of chapters examining how railway companies reacted to increasing competition from road transport, and exploring the degree to which railways depended on road transportation at different times and places. Part two focuses on road mobility, interpreting it as the innovative success story of the twentieth century. Taken together, these essays provide a fascinating reappraisal of the complex and shifting nature of European transportation over the last one hundred years.
