What reading level is Historical Sketch of Government Ownership of Railroads in Foreign Countries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
236 cents; in 1909 0. 763 cents. In other words, the American ton-mile rate started at the beginning of the period 25 per cent, below the Prussian rate ; and it fell in the course of the twenty-nine years, not 15 per cent. , but nearly 40 per cent. At the end of the period, the American rate was not much more than half the Prussian rate 0. 763 cents com- pared with 1. 41. There are many elements, doubtless, responsible for so striking a difference. But, when all have been taken into account, a ...railway expert is bound to come to the conclusion that the main element is relative operating efficiency. To discuss this subject here at length is impossible. But one point may be taken. The incomparable cheapness of American carriage is primarily due to the employment of the largest possible units of car-load and train load. Less than thirty years ago, 8-ton coal cars could still be seen in Jersey City. Since then, the size of car has been increased to 30 tons, 50 tons, and now 70 tons and 90 tons.
