20世纪初,中国出现了创建商办铁路公司的高潮。由于中国经济落后,工商业发展不平衡,各商办铁路公司的资金筹集采取了不同的方式,内部的组织管理也相差较大,但整体上存在着缺少资金,组织管理混乱,路线规划各自为政等问题,筑路成绩普遍较差。在此情势下,清政府把商办铁路收归国有。这在当时的历史条件下,有其客观必然性。 At the beginning of the 20th century, China had the climax of establishing a commercial railway company. Owing to the backward economy in China and the unbalanced development in business, the financing of commercial railway companies has taken different forms and the internal organization and management have been quite different. However, on the whole, there are problems such as lack of funds, chaotic organizational management and fragmented road planning , Road construction results generally poor. Under this situation, the Qing government turned the commercial railway into state ownership. This was an objective necessity under the historical conditions of the time.
