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.

Book excerpt: In the preface the authors describe their approach, 'In examining the social history of railway stations we were concerned to treat them not as inanimate objects, but as living, breathing places which, better than any other building type of the last 150 years, reflected the societies around them, public buildings which people used in all sorts of ways and whose significance they instantly recognized when depicted in the theatre, the cinema, paintings, photographs, poetry, novels, and travel works. For this reason we have chosen to allow other voices to tell part of the story, to illustrate through quotation the central, but often differing, role of the station in so many societies and so many lives.'They succeed triumphantly in this aim. After the introduction aptly called 'The Mystique of the Railway Station' there are fifteen absorbing chapters covering: The Station in Architecture (three chapters); The Station and Society; The Station in Politics; Class, Race, and Sex; Some Station Types; The Station in the Economy (two chapters); The Station as Place of Work; The Station in Wartime (two chapters); The Usual Offices; The Station in Painting and Poetry, Postcard and Poster; and The Station in Literature and Film.

Book excerpt: Over 90 illustrations. Railroads transformed not just common means of transportation but cities, countries, and continents. Trains and their engines became emblems of a new era, as were the buildings which served as their departure points and destinations. This type of building presented an entirely new challenge for architects and engineers, for nothing like a railway station had ever been built, or needed, before. Not simply imposing examples of civic architecture, these structures also represent massive feats of engineering designed to enclose enormous spaces and accomodate thousands of travelers. This authoritative volume traces and celebrates the history and technical development of these hubs of t

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twentieth Century Manual of Railway Station Service: Freight, Baggage and Passenger Departments All information embodied in this manual is eminently practical; the blank forms, general laws and special methods herein given are to be found in printed form in railroad publications only; and the multiplicity of details set forth in the work, regarding which the business world is almost wholly ignorant, is absolutely astonishing. The manual, therefore, is not only an admirable text-book for the student but it is a practical reference book as well for the jobber, the shipper, or any man who pays freight, and as such is commended to their attention.

Download or read book The Mountains of Romania written by Janneke Klop and published by Cicerone Press. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide describes 27 short treks of 2-6 days and 10 day walks in the mountains of Romania. Although there is a slight focus on Transylvania, most of the main massifs are included, with chapters covering the Mountains of Maramures, the Eastern Carpathians, the mountains around Brasov, the Fagara?, the region between the Olt and the Jiu, the Retezat, the mountains of Banat and the Apuseni. Also included is an ascent of Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak at 2544m. There is a wealth of advice to help you plan your trip and organise the logistics of your walk or trek. Some routes avail of the network of mountain huts; others offer opportunities to camp in attractive wild locations. Overviews and a route summary table make it easy to choose an appropriate excursion. Each route includes clear description and mapping, as well as notes on accommodation and access (some can be accessed by public transport, although others require either pre-arranged pick-up or hitchhiking). There are fascinating insights into Romania's colourful culture and history and appendices containing hut listings, useful contacts and a helpful glossary. The graded routes are as varied as Romania's diverse landscapes. They take in rolling hills, craggy karst peaks, glacial lakes and Europe's last virgin forests, with other highlights including Transylvanian castles, wooden churches, the Piatra Craiului ridge and the spectacular Sapte Scari (Seven Ladders) and Turda Gorges. Historic towns such as the medieval towns of Brasov and Sibiu and the spa resort of Vatra Dornei offer easy access to the mountains; other routes visit remote villages that have changed little over the centuries, where self-sufficiency is still very much the way of life. All in all, the guide is a perfect companion to discovering the unspoilt beauty of Romania's enchanting mountain regions.
