Many historians agree that economic factors caused the Great Strike of 1877, that the Strike represented a sharp break with the past, and that railroad workers led the Strike entirely. After his dissertation research unearthed documents that suggested otherwise, David O. Stowell began investigating the Great…

pounds. The higher weight of the rail depicts the amount of gross mega tons that are able to be transported across the tracks. This higher weight of the rail also allows the train to move at faster speeds, which makes the product more desirable (D. Browne II, personal communication, November 3, 2016).
