Download or read book Private Freight Cars and American Railways Classic Reprint written by L. D. H. Weld and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Private Freight Cars and American Railways My work has been hampered by a lack of material due to the reluctance of private-car companies to divulge facts concerning their earnings or their relations with the rail roads. What data I have been able to secure in regard to the earnings of private cars and similar questions have come from various sources and contain many con icting statements. For these reasons I have been compelled in many instances to resort to approximations. In dividing my work into chapters I have found the different phases of the question so closely related that I have been forced to repeat certain facts in different connections, but I trust that what is gained in clearness will more than counter balance any tediousness resulting from such repetition.

Download or read book An Illustrated Guide to American Freight Train Equipment written by Patrick Dorin and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated guide to the wide variety of freight car equipment of the railroads that have and continue to service North America, this book covers each type of freight car and what it was designed to haul, as well as the equipment necessary to keep them all ‘on track.’ Equipment designs are based on the type of commodity that would be shipped. For example, 24-foot box cars are designed to handle 75 to 85 tons of iron ore. High cubic capacity covered hopper cars are designed for handling grain traffic, while lower cubic capacity is designed for handling heavy commodities, such as cement. See the changes for each type through time, like the early Refrigerated Cars that required ice which have evolved into today’s much larger Mechanical Reefers. Great book for modelers.
