By John Fraser

Book Overview

English Railways: Statistically Considered is a book written by John Fraser and published in 1903. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the English railway system at the turn of the 20th century. Fraser uses statistical data to examine various aspects of the railways, including their financial performance, passenger and freight traffic, rolling stock, and infrastructure. He also discusses the impact of government regulation on the railways and the challenges they faced in competing with other forms of transportation, such as the automobile and the bicycle.
