Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 8 The object of this volume is to explain the principles that govern the traffic of railroads and assign it where it belongs, with the other industries of the world. An understanding of these principles is necessary to the proper government of those who work for railroads. The object of every intelligent, honest and patriotic man is the attainment of that which is best. What I have to say in regard to railway rates and government control is actuated by this desire. It is based on what is practicable and true; on what is attainable. If it runs counter to the opinions of the public, or of those to whom the public looks for information, I am sorry. I do nob write from the standpoint of the railways, but from that of an observer and student; from the standpoint of one interested in the prosperity of his country, and believing in the intelligence and uprightness of his countrymen. A portion of this volume was written and published in 1891. The principles then laid down have not changed, and never will change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Revised and Enlarged: Edition of the Science of Railways The Train Service of a railroad is its supreme feature. Roadways existed before locomotives were invented, but they had no general interest to mankind. The locomotive vitalized them. It is the trains that rush and roar through the land, loaded with the world's traffic, which make rail roads interesting to the public and useful to man kind. The subject is a great one, the greatest, in fact, of all those connected with railroads. In reference to the Train Service of railways, a statistical comparison of the speeds attained by the highest class passenger trains in the United States and Europe is extremely interest ing, as the following table showshm as 00 no.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 7 The accompanying volume represents the practical experience and research of the author and those about him, for a period of nearly half a century. In his work he has not sought to create something that was his own so much as he has to develop something of value to railroads and, incidentally, to the commerce of the world. While he has given the subject his best thought all his life, he has at the same time sought to supplement his knowledge and at best limited experience, with that of others. In this he has been, owing to the kindness of those about him and those generally connected with railroads, more fortunate than could have been expected. It is on these grounds that he has written the book and now ventures to offer it to the public. The first of the two books that make up this volume explains briefly the principles that surround the buying and handling of railway supplies. The subject is one of supreme importance to railroad corporations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 2 Few men have the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the minutiae of railway affairs in all their phases. This renders books of reference both necessary and valuable. The employer, the employe and the community are alike benefited by them. It was this thought that suggested the accompanying volumes. They treat of specific things, but do not reflect the methods of any particular property or organization. Polybius, in describing the Roman constitution, says if the reader finds the matter in his work to be trustworthy, he must assume the omissions to be intentional and unimportant. I cannot say this of the accompanying volumes. To treat exhaustively the science of railroads would fill a library. I do not attempt anything so elaborate, but seek only to point out essential principles and practices. On almost every railroad we find manuals in a more or less advanced state, but nowhere an attempt to explain the principles which govern as well as the rules and regulations which are to be observed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 15 It was the impossibility of separating the duties of particular departments 'oi the service and describing them apart that first constrained me to take up the subject as a whole. I started out to describe particular branches of the serv ice, but quickly found that their connection with the others was so close as to render a de scription of the whole necessary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 3 of 12: Operation of Trains Of the facilities of the ancients for trans porting travelers historians tell us very little. Even Herodotus, that most voluble, curious and amiable of gossips, is silent. He describes his journeys, the people he visited and heard about, but says nothing as to how he traveled from place to place. And this notwithstanding his voyages necessitated the most varied transporta tion; that peculiar to sea and river, desert and highway, mountain and valley. He tells us, with a relish that time can never dull, of the habits of the people he saw and heard about; their idiosyncracies, foibles and weaknesses - especially their weaknesses - but not a word about his means Of transportation.
