必要的产物铁路事业要求高度合作,因之组成美国铁道协会(AAR:Association of AmericanRailroads)是势所必然。从早期铁路历史证明,许多问题包括设备、时间表和其他运营事项,惟有通过努力合作方能解决。实际上,在(南北)内战结束不久,美国铁路即已召开会议,探讨有关全路性的问题。美国铁道协会的前身,可以追溯到1867年组成的“车辆制造厂商协会”(Master CarBuilders Association)。该协会组织实现了货车标准化的试验工作。还可追溯到“各铁路管理人员通用时间会议”(General Time Convention of Railway Managers)。
The necessary product railroads require a high degree of cooperation, which makes it necessary to form the AAR: Association of AmericanRailroads. From the history of the early railroads, a number of issues have been identified, including equipment, timetables and other operational matters, which can only be solved through working together. In fact, shortly after the civil war ended (South-North), the U.S. Railways had already held a meeting to discuss the issue of the all-encompassing nature. The predecessor of the American Railroad Association dates back to the 1867 Master Carbuilders Association. The association organizes the standardized testing of trucks. It also goes back to the General Time Convention of Railway Managers.
