Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Engineers: George and Robert Stephenson The Invention of the Locomotive Engine and its application to the working of Railways, is one of the most remarkable events of the present century. Within a period of about thirty years, railways have been adopted as the chief means of internal communication in all civilised countries. The expenditure involved in their construction has been of an extraordinary character. In Great Britain alone, at the end of the year 1856, not less than had been raised and expended in the construction of 8635 miles of railway, which were then open for public traffic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engine-Driving Life: Or Stirring Adventures and Incidents in the Lives of Locomotive Engine-Drivers There are many facts in our railway life that pass unnoticed and unrecorded, and are lost in Oblivion; for few there are who witness the struggle for advancement, who search for the platines of fine gold and bring them to the surface. The battle of life absorbs all our energies, and it is because we are not all cast in the same mould that now and again we hear of adventures which throw fresh light on the history of men, their character and deeds, and the record of which enables others to trace the reflection of their own experience.

Download or read book Steam and the Steam Engine written by Henry Evers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam and the Steam Engine: Land, Marine, and Locomotive The chief aim of the author of this book has been to supply a want that he, in common with a large body of teachers, has experienced for many years. There is on Steam no cheap work that a teacher can put into the hands of his pupils, to give them at once a full and comprehensive idea of the whole subject. The author has striven to supply this defect, and to produce a work correct in its facts, safe in its deductions, and containing, where possible, new and original matter, or the old matter presented under new aspects. How far he has succeeded is for others to judge. An attempt has been made, not only to give the reader an insight into the details and specialities of the different kinds of engines employed to do man's work, but to make him understand the various principles upon which each part of the Steam Engine 'does that work, the relation these parts bear to each other, and the life or physiology, so to speak, of the whole.

Download or read book The Railway Locomotive written by Vaughan Pendred and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Railway Locomotive: What It Is and Why It Is What It Is The literature of the railway locomotive engine is already so copious that I think some explanation of how this book came to be written is desirable. It forms one of a series of volumes, the idea of publishing which originated with Messrs. Archibald Constable Co. In the present day specialisation is universal, and in no profession does it prevail more than in that of engineering. This will not appear remarkable when we recognise the enormous range of subjects with which the engineer has to deal. The Westminster series is intended in a sense to bridge over the gaps left by specialisation. Thus the marine engineer may have but a very slight knowledge of electrical engineering, and the civil engineer may be comparatively ignorant concerning the locomotives which run on the railways which he makes. But engineers should have - the younger members of the profession in particular need to have - a great deal of information in common, and all perfectly understand technical language. Speaking then of my own work, I may say that I hope engineers in any branch of the profession who may read this book will find in it information which they did not possess before. The books which have hitherto been written about the locomotive engine are all either strictly specialised or very popular. None of them go far into the life of the locomotive engine. The technical treatise deals with the locomotive almost altogether as a machine. Its parts are described, but the reasons why they assume particular Shapes, and why one shape is better or worse than another are not dwelt upon, and nothing is said about the daily life of the engine. To use a metaphor, the locomotive is handled by its authors anatomically, not physiologically. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trips in the Life of a Locomotive Engineer Railroad men, too long looked upon as the rougher kind of humanity, have been the subjects of severe condemnation and reproach upon the occurrence of every disaster, while their skill, bravery and presence of mind have scarcely ever found a chronicler. The writer ventures to assert, that if the record of their noble deeds were all gathered, and presented in their true light, it would be found that these rough, and weather-worn men were entitled to as high a place, and a fame as lofty, as has been allotted to any other class who cope with disaster.
