To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The most com- petitive is that between two gateways where several roads are bidding for the same business. Watch most carefully the interchange with connections, to see if we are getting equivalents for what we give. It is not necessary that the number of passengers exchanged be equal nor that the revenue from each be the same, nor that the passengers be even approximately the same. Strategic conditions enter variously at every junction. It requires a broad knowledge of the whole passenger traf...fic of the road to judge how valuable a given de- livery by a connection may be. Further than that, where two roads exchange business at different points, the business at one point may be sacrificed for a given advantage at another point. In watching inter- changes not only is it essential to know the actual num- ber of passengers received at a given gateway, but the significance of this niunber is increased if we know the per cent, the number we have received bears to the whole dividable business at that point.
