Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Management at Stations Both for economy and training purposes nothing surpasses the introduction of a reasonable number of well-educated youths of about fifteen years of age, but certainly not over sixteen years. Too many, however, of these at a station weaken the character of the staff, while too few or none at all has the same effect, because there is then no introduction of new young blood. As the child is trained in the nursery and thence becomes a boy in a public school, so a youth is trained in the rudiments of a railway office, and growing to man's estate becomes an experienced railway clerk. One most important principle of staff organisation is to avoid vesting the chief efficiency of the work upon a few of what may be termed pivot men, who, if suddenly withdrawn, will cause confusion and serious disturbance of the work. This can be cheaply and certainly met by a discreet intermixture of youths among the staff. A youth after three years working, from fifteen to eighteen years of age, is often quicker and able for more routine work than a man of twenty-five years of age. Thus, as a general principle of working, an agent should strive to work up a second hand able in an emergency to fill any particular post. In no other way can permanence and progressive efficiency be attained. The grasp of mind necessary for railway organisation is rarely found in the every-day young man. It requires a combination of mental qualities peculiarly blended and allied with a practical detail knowledge of the business. There is a certain preciseness necessary in the organiser who is constantly obstructed by the daily emergencies that arise in the working of the traffic. A station agent employed in arranging the receipt and despatch of goods necessarily has his mind more or less full of expedients indispensable to carrying on such duties. Expedients and a proficiency in applying them readily to all circumstances that arise, render the mind somewhat callous to the advantages of methodical plans. As a comparison it calls to mind the man who trusts to his memory with the man who systematically makes memoranda. The man of expedients is a man of tact, and the bias of his mind is rather to trust to this qualification than to the building up of organisation. The man of expedients is usually busy and in a bustle because he has always something special to arrange, while the organiser having brought everything within the scope of his system quietly watches the progress of his arrangements, fits in improvements wherever he sees an opportunity, and provides for such matters that daily occur as may require incorporating into the general system. For examples illustrating these two characteristics take the American and the Frenchman. The American is all expedients - he rushes at his work with an impetuosity and determination to accomplish his aim. To use his own expression he piles into it, and generally succeeds when the work can be accomplished by forcible spasmodic efforts. His quick adaptation of the means to the difficulties and the leverage he puts on, often carry him through successfully.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Station Service Not designed as a manual explaining merely in a matter-of-fact way, either in complete detail or in out line, what things must be done at a railway station and how to do them, the present book, While stating with some fullness the leading features of railway station service as matters of prescribed routine, attempts to give also some insight into the general condition, spirit and principles of such service. It is a fact, familiar to every agent of experience, that the station man is de pended upon by his superior oficers not merely for a proper knowledge and application of his company's rules, but, in addition, for information and for well advised opinions on a multitude of matters not covered by those rules; and the agent is well aware of the fact that his services are of value to his company very much in proportion as he is able to meet this additional de mand. Furthermore, in recent years, legislation regard ing railway matters has been such that the agent has been rendered in a measure independently responsible, so that it behooves him to become informed as to condi tions under which he is placed, not by his company in the first instance, but by federal and state laws. And, again, the public whom the railway serves looks to the agent as its chief informant and adviser in matters relating to the business of shipping and of traveling. In general, the tendency of circumstances a tendency that is undoubtedly increasing in strength is toward the necessity of the agent's being not merely a hired servant of his company but an all-round, intelligent, capable individual person. It is in accordance with, if not in consequence of, this tendency that schools have in recent years been established and are being established to fit men for the really intelligent understanding and performance of duties connected with railway service in general. The present work aims to contribute some thing towards meeting the demand involved in this tendency, so far as station service is concerned. The substance of the work was first made public in a short course of lectures delivered by invitation before the class in Railway Administration at Michigan University in the autumn of 1909; and it is the hope of the author that the work as here presented may be found of use to classes in railway administration in other institutions, as well as to railway agents in general, to shippers in some degree, and to the general student of railway matters. The matter of the book has been derived mostly through an experience of a dozen or more years on two leading lines of the West, no written work cover ing precisely the field of the book having fallen into the author's hands. For the faults almost inevitable in a first attempt of this sort the writer would ask a reasonable indulgence. Below is a short list of works which might profitably be consulted in connection with the reading of the book.
