Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Freight Railway Co It is founded upon the further theory that any new railroad between the West and the East, under private corporate control, will furnish no material element in solving the problem of cheap transportation, unless it be provided with some certain protection against the' con trol and influence of such great railroad corporations as the Pennsylvania and the New York Central. And upon the further theory, that a new railroad be tween the East and the West can be made to carry freight as cheaply, if not more cheaply, than can be done by water transportation, if it be honestly constructed, for the ready cash, in the most judiciously economical manner, of the three feet gauge, with double tracks and low grades; provided the railroad company owns the road-bed and tracks, and individuals and firms who wish to become common carriers own and operate the trains, paying the railroad company prescribed tolls, the trains being moved at a uniform speed of, say ten miles per hour, and there being full business for the capacity of the road thus managed.

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 How to Handle Freight: Address to the Agents and Employes of the Chicago North-Western Railway Company, Delivered at Chicago, Boone, North Fond Du Lac, Madison, Escanaba, Waseca and Huron Employes who were able to participate in the meetings, which this book records, will secure additional pleasure and profit in an opportunity for review. The large number whose duties would not admit attendance will find the first page so interesting as to require no other incentive for completing the whole. Therefore it is superfluous to solicit "your particular attention" or appear solicitous for the result. Rules and regulations are the fundamental basis of Railway service and management. Those who make rules are not infallible, and those who should observe regulations are not always keenly alive to the disastrous effect which may result from a trifling cause. The severest, most impartial, and always reliable teacher is Experience, and, whether we be machine-made from the University or hand-made from the Universal, no little portion of our success as individuals or corporations is to be attributed to our faculty for avoiding the difficulties which have jeopardized others, and a foreknowledge of these evils is of just so much value as you individually choose to apply the lesson. This little book is a true record of experiences, their causes and effects, their perils, and how to avoid them. The application is in your hands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Co-Operation Versus Competition: Between Motor Truck and Railroad Transportation We are accustomed to think of the transportation of goods as divided into four general classes: parcel post, express, less-than carload or package freight (commonly called 1. C. And car-load freight. The essential difference between car-load and l. C. L. Freight is that car-load freight is loaded and unloaded on an industry track or a team-track by the trader, or by some one employed by him, while I. C. L. Freight is loaded and unloaded and passed through a station, at the expense of the railway. Consequently, car-load rates are substantially less per ton than 1. C. L rates, for carrying the same goods. Whether the government. The express company or the railroad company undertakes to transport the goods. The railway actually performs the entire transportation service, except the movement between the premises of the traders and the stations of the railway companies. Such movement is called collection and delivery. Parcel post Is not collected. But is delivered by the government. Express is collected and delivered by the express company. Freight is collected and delivered, not by the railway company, but by the trader or by the owner of trucks or teams, whom we will call the trucker.

Download or read book Railroad Traffic and Rates Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Emory R. Johnson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Traffic and Rates, Vol. 2 The Pennsylvania Railroad, the ranking railway in vol ume of both passenger and freight business, has a Passenger Traffic Manager and another Traffic Manager for freight, but no Manager with authority over both services, the duties which such an official would perform being exercised by the Traffic Vice President. On the other hand, the Union Southern Pacific, to which the late Mr. E. H. Harriman gave one of the highest types of organization, has a Traffic Vice President, Who is subject to the Director of Traffic, and two Traffic Managers - one for freight and one for the passenger service. The necessity for having a single traffic head over the federation of large railway systems included in the Harriman Lines is apparent. Harmony and unity of traffic policy would otherwise be practically im possible. A railway system of medium proportions, like the Delaware, Lackawanna Western or the Philadelphia&, Reading, is apt to have the passenger branch of the service headed by the General Passenger Agent, while the freight department, which has charge of a larger volume of business, is under the control of a Freight Traffic Manager, who, like the General Passenger Agent, reports directly to the Traffic Vice President. The general organization of the passenger traffic depart ments of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and of the Southern Pacific Company may be selected as typical of large systems. One is a large but closely consolidated sys tem, managed from a single center; while the other is so decentralized as to require several administrative centers. The Pennsylvania organization was presented in Chapter IV, but may be repeated here as a basis for the present discussion.

This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Railway Station Service Classic Reprint written by B. C. Burt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 324 pages. 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.
