Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Application of Electricity to Railway Working Within that period the mileage of wire solely devoted to the requirements of the railways of Great Britain has expanded by some 40,000 miles, and the number of instruments has been increased by no less than 80,000; resulting in a present total exceeding 100,000 miles of wire, and some 140,000 instruments. Nor does this entirely dispose of the large telegraphic interest which attaches to the railway service, for to these results should be added some 70,000 miles of wire, the property of the State, which is, at the instance of the Postmaster-General, maintained by the various railway companies. The fact that the entire railway system of the United Kingdom is now worked under the Block system will, to some extent, account for this large expansion. With what beneficial results the enormous expenditure which must have been incurred by the railway companies in the establishment of this means for the further protection of the travelling public has been attended, the Board of Trade Returns amply testify. When we realise the fact that the number of messages emanating with one of the larger English companies - that to which the Author is attached - amounted, during the year 1895, to close upon 5,000,000, and that the number of train reports exceeded 8,000,000, we are at no loss to recognise the importance of, and the need which has brought into existence, so extensive a branch of the railway industry.

At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.

Book excerpt: Electric Railways 1880-1990 explores the history of the integration of both electric and diesel-electric railway systems and identifies the crucial role that diesel-electric traction played in the development of wireless electrification. The evolution of electrical technology and the modern railway produced innovations in engineering that were integral to the development of traction, power and signalling systems. This book presents a thorough survey of electric railway development from the earliest days pf the London Underground to modern electrified main line trains. The distinction between 'enforced electrification' and 'economic electrification' is also discussed and the pioneering role of J.J. Heilmann assessed.

Download or read book The Impact of the Railway on Society in Britain written by A. K. B. Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Simmons, perhaps more than any other single scholar, is responsible for the advancement of the academic study of transport history. As well as being a co-founder of the Journal of Transport History, he wrote extensively on a variety of transport-related topics and was instrumental in developing the London Transport and the National Railway museums. Whilst his death in September 2000 at the age of 85 was a sad loss to the world of transport history, the achievements of his life, celebrated in this festschrift, remain a lasting legacy to succeeding generations of scholars in many fields. Concentrating on the theme of the railways, and how they dramatically affected the development of Britain and her society, this collection touches on numerous issues first highlighted by Professor Simmons which are now central to academic study. These include the men who built the railways, those who financed the enterprise, how the railways affected such everyday issues as tourism, the arts, and politics, as well as the lasting legacy of the railways in a country now dominated by the private car. This volume written by former friends, students and colleagues of Professor Simmons reflects these interests, and provides a fitting tribute to one of the truly great British historians of the twentieth century.
