Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railways The greater part of the matter contained in the following pages appeared in a series of thirteen articles published in The Times between January 5 and June 5, 1903, under the heading of "American Railways," the facts given having been collected during a four months' tour of the United States, made in the winter of 1902-3, and representing a total of about 9000 miles of railway travelling on the American continent. For the purposes of the present work, however, I have considerably expanded a number of the original articles, and have added several fresh ones - such as "On the Cars," "In the Rockies," "A Mining Camp Railway in Colorado," and "The Santa Fe Trail" - together with sections given in Chapter XIX., "Miscellaneous," under the headings: "The Capture of the Small Shareholder," "The Suburban Traffic Problem at Chicago," "Luggage and Parcels," "The Policy of Combination," "Ton-Mileage Statistics," and "Promotions of Staff in Railway Service."

Download or read book Private Freight Cars and American Railways Classic Reprint written by L. D. H. Weld and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Private Freight Cars and American Railways My work has been hampered by a lack of material due to the reluctance of private-car companies to divulge facts concerning their earnings or their relations with the rail roads. What data I have been able to secure in regard to the earnings of private cars and similar questions have come from various sources and contain many con icting statements. For these reasons I have been compelled in many instances to resort to approximations. In dividing my work into chapters I have found the different phases of the question so closely related that I have been forced to repeat certain facts in different connections, but I trust that what is gained in clearness will more than counter balance any tediousness resulting from such repetition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Rates The railroad problem, with respect to charges, has always been a problem of freight rates rather than of passenger fares. The freight traffic upon the American railroads far exceeds the passenger traffic in volume, complexity, and importance. In order to avoid confusion of statement, this book deals only with freight rates. But the fundamental principles governing rates and fares are the same.

Download or read book Railway Shop Up to Date written by Maham H. Haig and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Shop Up to Date: A Reference Book of Up to Date American Railway Shop Practice This book goes forth as a record of what is found to exist as the best in railroad shop practice, design, construction and equipment. The editor has striven earnestly and long to compile all the available data valuable to the railroad official seeking information, whether it be for the purpose of building a new shop to meet modern and future conditions, or increasing the efficiency of an existing plant. It was not originally intended to make this book so broad and comprehensive; but there was found to be such a vast quantity of related data and information on the subject, that it was deemed advisable to extend its scope to its present proportions. All material has been condensed as much as possible without sacrificing necessary details or impairing the lucidity of any descriptions, so that each kind of shop or particular kind of practice followed, may be clearly understood and comprehended. The value of such a compilation as this depends largely upon the proper arrangement of facts in their natural and logical sequence so that the effects and results of the evolutions continually in progress, in the up to date railway shop, are readily arrived at by the reader. We have based our statements upon and drawn our conclusions from conditions as we have found them and have not theorized upon ideal conditions. We want this work to stand for exactly what its name implies. There are so many good shops, each apparently the best under the peculiar governing conditions and each new shop to be built hereafter will be subject to its own governing conditions, not possible to predict here, that it would be manifestly the sheerest folly to lay down a rigid policy or standard to be followed. We give what are found to be facts and governing conditions, but we know that there are new questions yet to be raised and unknown quantities in shop problems to be determined before any given problem can be solved. It is necessary to go from the known to the unknown in this as in other lines of progress and we have attempted to supply information to help as far as we may. There is no doubt but that there will be found here one or more illustrations which will approximately fit the conditions to be met in building a new plant or modernizing an old one. While it is unlikely that an attempt would be made to plan one shop as an identical counterpart of another, each shop illustrated or described contains some features worthy of being emulated. Our aim has been attained if we have shown clearly the various types of modem railway shops. We wish to express our appreciation of the kindly assistance rendered by the railroad officials with whom we have come in contact during the course of this work. It has been a pleasure indeed to note the willingness to assist and the interest evidenced in our undertaking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Railroad: With Remarks on American Railway Construction and Management In order, however, to arrive at a fair estimate of the total cost, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the company, pursuing in this respect an unusual, but, as the Authors submit, a very wise course, long since closed the capital account for the main line, and that, exclusive of ordinary maintenance and repairs, there has been expended, out of revenue, during the years 1855 to 1873 inclusive, upon permanent improvements and works of con struction, including the substitution of iron for wood in bridges, and of steel for iron rails, no less a sum than or per mile, bringing the cost up to per mile of single line. If, in the absence of separate accounts, there be deducted for the branches, 82 miles at the average cost of American rail roads, viz., per mile, the cost of the main line will be found to be about per mile of double line.
