Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Transportation Many books have been published on electric railway engineering but none until this, we believe, purely on the transportation methods and practice of electric railways. Nevertheless, the men engaged in the transportation department of an electric railway greatly exceed in number those in the engineering department, and the opportunities for financial loss through faulty practice are at least as large if not larger. Most of the accounts of electric railway transportation practice which are mentioned in this book have appeared in the transactions of the American Electric Railway Transportation & Traffic Association or in the columns of the electric railway press. The efforts of the authors of the present volume have been devoted to making this information more readily available in book form and adding such comment of their own as seemed to them of possible help to the operating man. A word of explanation and caution to the reader in regard to the methods of different companies, as described in the following pages, is necessary. The conditions on the different properties change often, due to legislative enactments, changes in wages paid, altered demands of the public and other causes. For this reason it is probable that when this book reaches the hands of its readers some of the methods described therein as employed by individual companies will have been radically altered or even abandoned. Such a condition is, of course, unavoidable in any developing industry. It ought not of itself to impair the value of the book to the average reader if the latter looks upon its pages not as a record of unchanging practice but as descriptive of some of the methods employed by different companies at the time that the book was written. A word ought to be said also in regard to the examples cited of practice followed by the different companies. The book is intended in no way to be a compilation of the practice of all companies on the subjects treated. Many companies may be using the same methods as those whose practice is quoted, and in some cases another company may have been the pioneer in the plan followed. The authors have mentioned the examples given in the book in most cases because they happened to be personally acquainted with the methods or because information about them could be more easily obtained. The references to European tramway practice relate to the period before the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Railroading, or Electricity as Applied to Railroad Transportation Exactly what electricity is we do not know, and indeed a practical man always dealing with the useful effects of electricity, applying these to the necessities and for the comfort of mankind, finds little time to wonder what electricity is. We will omit the almost unanswerable question What is -and proceed to the question. Question I. What is meant when a person talks about electricity? Answer. There are certain effects which we believe to be due to electricity, so that when a person observes any one of these things, he at once declares that there is electricity present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 75: May September, 1931 The present debacle is a far cry from 1910 when Mr. Mitten took over the management of the broken - down street railway system in Philadelphia. No one can deny that in the interim Mitten Management has raised the quality of transportation service to a high level. For its work in building up the property physically, for its accomplishment in maintaining satisfactory relations at all times with its men, for its many campaigns in the interest of safety and for the heed it has given to progressive ideas for service improvement, the manage ment deserves the greatest credit. Its endeavors to promote ere - ordination of facilities have been in line with the most modern thinking. Entry into the field of taxicab operation was a step in this direction. In so far as the law may have blocked the efforts of the company to bring about effective co-ordina tion, the fault lies with the state. In so far as that end may have been sought by devious devices, however, the fault lies with the management.

Later in this pa r I' will indicate the manner in which electricity may sooner or ater realize the best and brightest promises made on behalf of the trans-continental steam railroad, but our first thought is as to electrical travel within towns and cities, and the manner in which it affects social relations, by modifying as with the harlequin wand of transformation all the conditions to which we have heretofore been subjected.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Journal, Vol. 57: May 7, 1921 One night while a claim agent for an interurban was riding a car he got a stiff scare and a good hunch. On a railroad crossing the wheel left the wire and the car was stalled. A heavy freight, traveling fast, was coming and a smash was narrowly averted. When the claim agent got his breath back he realized what a staggering total might have been charged up to his department. So next morning he told his story and National Trolley Guard was recommended as the remedy. National Trolley Guard is an inverted trough of open wire mesh which stops the wheel when it leaves the wire and furnishes power to carry the car into the clear.
