              <text>This is a book from 1897 published by Gibson Bros in Washington DC. It's a primary source as the reader can read about the statutes, laws, and other data that influenced operations of railroad comapnies during a time when railroads were a relatively new thing. Disagreements over statutes being followed by multiple companies at the same time led to a court case looking over the disputes big railroad companies and some smaller ones had. </text>
