Notes
  • The purpose of this study is to define and explain the changing geography of rail passenger service in California and Nevada from 1900 until 1970, one year before the advent of Amtrak. During these seven decades the nature and location of rail passenger service changed substantially in response to a variety of forces both within and outside of the industry. The specific approach taken here is to map the location of such service at regular intervals through time, to define changes in the geography of passenger trains between these dates, and to explain these changes in terms of the major variables that affected the demand and supply of rail transportation.
