This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working and Management of an English Railway In June, 1890, the Author was invited to read a paper at the Royal United Service Institution upon the Transport of Troops by Rail within the United King dom, and as a contribution, however humble, towards the elucidation of what might in certain contingencies become a question of great importance in connection with the defence of the country, he has thought it not out of place to embody the result of his consideration of the subject in chapter xvii. Of this work. At an earlier period of the same year, the writer delivered a lecture at the Society of Arts, upon the subject of Modern Improvements of Facilities in Rail way Travelling, and in the hope that this may prove to be to the general reader a not altogether uninteresting résumé of railway progress in this country during the last half century, the lecture, with certain emendations has been printed as an appendix to the present edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Railways These irregularities might have been corrected, to some extent, by the companies applying premiums they had received on issuing new stocks, towards the reduction or elimination of the outstanding items in their property or con struction accounts; but no such course has apparently ever been adopted by the companies. Without receiving. Any consideration for doing so, the companies, quite voluntarily, increased the amount of their liabilities by 44 millions so manipulating their accounts, that debenture holders were credited with about 20, in addition to every 100, which had been advanced by them. The ordinary stockholders, moreover, agreed between themselves, by a process known as duplication, to make it appear to the world, that, additional sums had been paid in cash, upon every 100, which had been originally paid, or credited, on their stocks.

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."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of Railway Life in England, Scotland and Ireland That my undertaking will not be an easy one I know. My memory is well stored, but unfortunately I have never kept a diary or commonplace book of any kind. On the contrary a love of order and neatness, carried to absurd excess, has always led me to destroy accumulated letters or documents, and much that would be useful now has in the past, from time to time, been destroyed and cast as rubbish to the void. Most autobiographies, I suppose, are undertaken to please the writers. That this is the case with me I frankly confess; but I hope that what I find much pleasure in writing my readers may, at least, find some satisfaction in reading. Vanity, perhaps, plays some part in this hope, for, He that is pleased with himself easily imagines that he shall please others.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Administration of the Railways in the United States and Great Britain This monograph is subject to all the limitations that arise when one attempts to write history in medias res. In Great Britain a law had been on the statute book since 1871 which provided for the method of railway management in case of war and for the financial arrangement under which the rail ways should be operated. The organization of railway execu tiyes which is now operating the British railways had been in existence since 1896. Therefore, it was a relatively simple mat ter to put the machinery in motion when the emergency arose and there have been few problems since of a fundamental char acter. Yet even so it would be impossible to say that our de scription is altogether complete or well balanced and that it does not fail to present some significant fact or phase of the situation. Many gaps will be discovered that are due to the impossibility of obtaining information during the war, and especially to the silence of the British government regarding many of its internal dealings under war conditions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Railways: Their Organisation, and Management This little book aims at providing for the general, non-technical reader an account of the railways of the country, which may enable him to understand something of the conditions in which they work, the difficulties they encounter, and the problems they have to solve. It is not to be regarded as a text book oi railway management, and considerations of space have rendered it necessary altogether to omit some topics that might have been treated and to dismiss others with only a brief reference. Nor is it a statistical manual, the figures contained in its pages having been introduced not for their own sake, but simply for purposes of illustration and com parison.

Download or read book The History of the London North Western Railway Classic Reprint written by Wilfred L. Steel and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the London North Western Railway The London and North-Western Railway claims, and quite rightly, to be the Premier line of the British Isles, and it is a surprising fact that while many of the chief companies have had their histories written yet, up till now, no detailed history of the London and North-Western has ever appeared. In many respects the growth of the North-Western is more interesting than that of any oilier company, for included in the North-Western system are the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first public passenger railway in the world, and the London and Birmingham Railway, the first trunk line. From these small beginning the London and North-Western system of to-day has become evolved; amalgamations, leases, and working agreements have been effected, until to-day the London and North-Western, possessing a capital of 124,000,000 and just under 2,000 miles of line, unquestionably stands out as the Premier line of the country. We know a few cavil at this assertion, but although the Great Western may own more miles of line, the Midland have a larger nominal capital, and the Great Eastern carry more passengers, yet when one takes everything into consideration, the facts all point to one conclusion, and that is, that the London and North-Western Railway is the Premier line of the country. This work does not claim to be a technical treatise with every detail of railway working carefully described and explained, it is merely meant to be a history for the nontechnical reader, in which an attempt is made to show how the great system has been built up piecemeal, and to give the chief engineering features of interest, a few details of the more famous locomotives, and a brief resume of the improvements in train services, whilst the financial history of the company is also briefly dealt with. In compiling this history reference has had to be made to an innumerable list of books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Railway Position: Reprinted From the Statist The inherent vice of the train - mile unit is its uncertainty. As a standard of measurement a train is little better than the historical lump of chalk. One train may carry 600 tons, or, in America, perhaps tons of paying freight, whilst another train may consist of two small waggons, with two tons in each waggon, run at a loss under the incentive of keen competition. In train-mile statements each of these trains are treated as if they were identical. Hence, whilst train-mile figures are most useful - essential, indeed, for some purposes - they are, for other pur poses, utterly unsound and worthless. Why should not, both ton-miles and train-miles be used according to their respective values for the purpose in view at the moment? Surely in selecting a statistical unit for any statement it is invariably right to choose the best that is available.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Railways: Their Passenger Services, Rolling Stock, Locomotives, Gradients, and Express Speeds IT is somewhat curious that in a country which was the birthplace of railways, and which has seen a most active and enterprising development of this means of internal communication, so few standard works on the subject have made their appearance. In France, Germany, Belgium, and Italy, exhaustive and learned treatises, dealing with almost every department of railway working in a manner quite unknown here, have been issued at frequent intervals, and it is necessary for the English student of railway management and economics to acquire a reading knowledge of the languages of these countries before he can study a sub jcet so thoroughly investigated by the scientific foreigner in all its detail.
