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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Agent and Station Agent, 1894: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to the Interests of Ticket and Freights Agents, and the Traffic Departments of the Railway Service All these things are common enough to justify the existence, among many fair-minded people, of the feeling that railroad labor is often unfairly dealt with; but let us look for a momentatthe other side of the shield. On many railroads the service is conducted so smoothly that the public seldom hears of 'any trouble. On all the roads the disturbances are among the freight conductors and brakemen almost exclusively. This class includes the ao-called switchmen. The station agents and many other classes never strike, though their pay is smaller, in proportion to the skill demanded, than that of train men. The pas senger train men generally do not join the freight men. The Pennsylvania road rarely has a strike. It has an insurance department through which the company grants the employees actual gra tuities of or a year, besides affording incidental benefits. The Baltimore Ohio has a similar department, older than the Pennsylvania's. The Chicago, Burlington 8: Quincy and the Philadelphia Reading have started these departments. The Boston Albany and other roads. Employing to men each, have had no strike of any consequence in many years. A number of prominent companies pay premiums to the foremen of track repairs. The Fall Brook railroad pays premiums to the freight conduc tors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Passenger Terminals and Trains Classic Reprint written by John A. Droege and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Passenger Terminals and Trains Following the publication and kindly reception of "Freight Terminals and Trains" (1912), suggestions were made that the whole field of terminal and train operation should be covered by the compilation of a companion work treating similarly of the passenger service. The author's efforts to cover a field heretofore not specifically treated, have resulted in the following pages. The general plan of "Freight Terminals and Trains" has been followed. While there must be some interlocking of allied branches, duplication has been avoided wherever practicable, and the work arranged with a view to producing two companion volumes covering the operation of freight- and passenger-train service, the design, construction and maintenance of terminals and accessories, with a discussion of the plans of organization and operating methods co-incident thereto. To describe all existing passenger terminals was, of course, out of the question. It has been the aim, therefore, to include only such descriptions, views and plans as embody typical or unique features, possessing educational value. Consequently, some of the larger and more important terminals have been omitted while others of seemingly less importance have been included. In a field where there is such a diversity of opinion and practice, and where "standard practice" is yet to be established, it has seemed advisable to include all possible information and to quote freely from the published views of experts, both those in confirmation of and those conflicting with the views of the author. In most instances acknowledgment is made in the text. The author's appreciative gratitude is due particularly to the Railway Age Gazette; and also to Engineering News; the Engineering Record; the Railway Review; Railway and Locomotive Engineering, and other railroad and technical periodicals. He is indebted also to many railroad officers and specialists for information, assistanoe and helpful criticism. For unusual and specific constructive aid and review, he is obligated to Samuel O. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age Gazette; William J. Cunningham, professor of transportation, Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration; C. B. Breed, associate professor of civil engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and B. B. Adams, associate editor of the Railway Age Gazette. He also wishes to express appreciation for assistance lent him by Charles W. Foss, associate editor of the Railway Age Gazette, and by J. E. Slater, of the accounting department of the New York, New Haven & Hartford. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railways and Railway Men In most articles treating of railway matters sta tistics figure largely; and though they may be most useful to certain readers, they are skipped over by the majority. There are therefore very few in these pages, as they can easily be found elsewhere if wanted. The information is intended to be more of interest than anything else, and is based on twenty years' experience in the service. No rail way is singled out as being the best or worst; and the examples given refer mostly to the great trunk lines of the country. On this account the remarks are to be taken generally, and if applied to any special railway may bear correction.
