Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work connected with the ordinary repairing of running engines, the emergency repairing executed to get engines ready hurriedly to meet the traffic demands on a road then chronically short of power, and diagnosing the numerous diseases that locomotives are heir to, provided ample material from which this book was constructed. The author is convinced that there is an urgent demand among engineers, machinists, and others, for plainly given information relating to numerous operations connected with the repairing and maintenance of locomotives. To meet this demand, the chapters on "Valve-Motion" and all the succeeding parts of the book were written. In preparing a book for the use of engineers, firemen, machinists, and others interested in locomotive matters, it has been the author's aim to treat all subjects discussed in such a way that any reader would easily understand every sentence written. No attempt is made to convey instruction in anything beyond elementary problems in mechanical engineering, and all problems brought forward are treated in the simplest manner possible.

Excerpt: ... importance in locomotive operating, and affords an opportunity to economize in the use of fuel, only equaled by the economy resulting from the expansive use of steam. The nature of a locomotive's work in starting trains and forcing them into speed, climbing hills, and then running down hills and into stations with steam shut off, necessitates great irregularity of the application of power. Now working at full stroke, starting a train; now cutting off at fifteen inches, struggling into speed; now, as speed increases, "cut back," to six or five inch cut-off; now steam entirely shut off while train runs into a station. So the round goes. A struggle, succeeded by a calm; soon to be followed by another struggle, in which all the energy of the engine is exercised. The exhaust resounding up the stack, creating a fierce draft through the fire; the late cut-off of the valves allowing great quantities of steam to enter the cylinders, and each exhaust to subtract a thousand units of heat from the boiler, necessitating an intensely hot fire and immense consumption of coal. "In time of peace prepare for war," is a maxim full of wisdom, and applicable to locomotive operating. From the nature of its work, a locomotive is necessarily being continually subjected to sudden drains upon its resources, and as its source of power is heat, it is well for the engineer to avail himself of every opportunity that offers to gather in a reserve store of heat, as great as possible, that it may assist his engine to easily and economically meet the requirements of hard work. Such a store of heat is to a locomotive as a reserve fund, or capital stock is to a bank; it may be drawn upon with great advantage in emergencies. Such an emergency exists whenever an engine is...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.
