In the 1950s, railroads faced competition from the airlines and from trucking companies.
Grange.
The Grange favored regulation of the railroads because farmers and rural communities faced unfair practices, such as exorbitant freight rates and discriminatory pricing that favored larger companies. The Grange believed that regulating railroads would help ensure fair access and pricing, promoting economic equity for farmers. Additionally, they sought to curb monopolistic practices that stifled competition and harmed their livelihoods. Overall, the Grange aimed to protect the interests of agricultural workers and improve their financial conditions.
Railroads contribute to the growth of cities because cities become connected and easily transport products back and forth.
Munn v. Illinois (1877) was the supreme court ruling that declared that grange laws were constitutional. The decision was based on the argument that railroads provided a public service and therefore were not completely private.
The two factors that led to the decline of American railroads in the latter part of the twentieth century were that more people were able to afford to buy their own automobiles and the increase of interstate highways and trucking.
In the 1870s, US farmer's wives and their husbands joined the Patrons of Husbandry, the Grange, which sponsored dances, fairs and lecturers who talked on just about any subject. It was a social organization for farmers. In the 1880s, new groups like the Grange mushroomed all over the nation. The largest became the Southern Alliance. Both the Grange and the Alliance were supposed to be non-political and were dedicated to taking women from their "enslaved role" into full participation in the agrarian movement with men. The Grange soon began to get political. It attacked the railroads for exploiting farmers, and elected politicians sympathetic to farmers who worked to regulate fares. The Supreme Court struck down the "Granger Laws" which were used to regulate the railroads, and the Grange and Alliance fell apart. Co-ops began to take the place of the Grange, and began to operated on a nonprofit basis, allowing farmers to pool their resources to purchase items more cheaply and to operate Credit Unions (membership of farmers) that acted like banks but more sympathetic to the farmers plight.
