o 1870
are the "American Railroad Journal" (1832-1871) and "Hunt's Merchant
Magazine" (1831-1870). Both of these periodicals are replete with
details of railroad building and growth. And for the period from 1870
to the present time the best authority is the "Commercial and
Financial Chronicle", with its various supplements. The story of modern
railroading is so intertwined with finance and banking that to get any
broad and complete view of the subject one must consider it largely
from the viewpoint of Wall Street. For facts regarding operation and
management of modern railroads, the "Railroad Age-Gazette" also
is extremely useful. By far the most valuable sources for railroad
statistics, railroad legislation, and all related facts, are the annual
reports and bulletins of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which
have been regularly issued since 1888. Many state commissions also have
issued volumes of value.

The best account of the origin of the Granger laws is contained in S.
J. Buck's "The Granger Movement" (1913). The beginnings of Federal
regulation are traced in L. H. Haney's "A Congressional History of
Railways in the United States, 1850-1887" (1910). The history of recent
railroad regulation by state and Federal legislation, and of court
decisions affecting the railroads, is clearly and succinctly told in
William Z. Ripley's "Railroads: Rates and Regulation" (1912), and in
Johnson and Van Metre's "Principles of Railroad Transportation" (1916).
