CHAPTER IX SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION In tracing the history of the various railroads which went into the Atlantic Coast Line System and the consolidation of these into a unit, one sees epitomized practically the entire railroad history of the United States. The charter of the first road was secured in 1830, the same year as the introduction of the steam engine on the Baltimore and Ohio. The beginning of the Atlantic Coast Line, therefore, goes back to the earliest days of the railroad era. During the first decade, 1830 to 1840, railroads were universally considered as supplementary to canals and navigable rivers, furnishing a connecting link where it was impossible to secure other connection. It was not supposed that they would supplant water transportation and develop into an entirely new and independent means of communication. This period of railroad history is typified in the Atlantic Coast Line System by the building of the two Virginia roads connecting the fall line towns. These roads were built as a part of the system of internal improvements undertaken by the state. They were private undertakings, but were encouraged and aided by the state which invested in them to the amount of two fifths of their capital stock. Being among the earliest roads proposed in the United States, they enjoyed a period of popular favor and secured charters so liberal as now to seem absurd. The second period of railroad expansion, from 1840 to 1860, is marked by the growth of closer union among roads and the development of the railroads into an independent transportation system. Roads for the most part remained separate units but cooperated through informal agreements, not always without friction, and divided the income from through traffic, usually in...

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Tms volume owes its existence to a suggestion of Dr. Arthur S. Dewing, formerly of the Economics faculty of Yale Uni versity, now of the Harvard, that the consolidation of a number of short railroads along the South Atlantic Seaboard into the Atlantic Coast Line System illustrates well the growth of the holding company period of American rail roads and its decline. To determine to what extent this is true the work was originally undertaken. It soon became evident that the location of the early constituent roads was determined by the geographical influence of the fall line, and that they, when once built, had a peculiarly marked influence on the economic conditions of the section of country through which they ran. As the work progressed it seemed worth while to broaden somewhat its scope and to make a study of the history of the road with the economic history and economic condi tions of the section as a background. The results of this study were submitted to and accepted by the Yale faculty as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. With changes and additions they now appear in permanent form and may be summarized as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This British Railways history recounts the life of a controversial steam engine and its miraculous transformation at the hands of a brilliant engineer. As Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Southern Railway, Oliver Bulleid designed what were perhaps the most controversial steam locomotives ever built in Britain: the Pacifics. Loved and loathed in equal measure, the debate over their strengths and weaknesses took on a new dimension when British Railways decided to modify them in the 1950s. When noted engineer Ron Jarvis was charged with improving on Bulleid’s designs, he displayed a master’s touch, saving the best of Bulleid’s work while incorporating other established design principles. What emerged was described by Bert Spencer, Gresley’s talented assistant, as taking ‘a swan and creating a soaring eagle.’ This book explores all the elements of the lives of these Pacifics and their two designers. It draws on previously unpublished material to describe their gradual evolution, which didn’t start or finish with the 1950s major rebuilding program.
