For three decades and a half railways had been visually in existence, yet so primitive was their character, so fragmentary and disconnected their service, that they had hardly found their allotted place in the industrial system when the war put an end to all new ventures. It fell to the lot of the Rebellion itself to expose the weaknesses of the U.S. transportation methods, to strengthen and adapt and make of the system an indispensable servant in the cause of the Union. Bringing with its services to society the power to do enormous evil, it has created a "railway problem" which has been among the most insistent of the subjects under discussion in legislative chambers and among the people at large.
