Abstract (en)

Traces middle-class support for Buffalo's striking railroad workers to the intense struggle between railroads and middle-class property owners over the use of city streets. The locomotives and trains that ran down city streets were one of the most direct and damaging ways in which many urban residents experienced capitalist industrialization in the 1870s.
