Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railways The greater part of the matter contained in the following pages appeared in a series of thirteen articles published in The Times between January 5 and June 5, 1903, under the heading of "American Railways," the facts given having been collected during a four months' tour of the United States, made in the winter of 1902-3, and representing a total of about 9000 miles of railway travelling on the American continent.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Railroad Bridges The existing and the accepted types of bridges in use to-day on American railroads being the results of a true evolution, no attempt to present them intelligently would be complete without a brief sketch of the past history of bridge; in America. The rapid development of the new world and the enormous number of bridges that has been built within the limits of the nineteenth century, have furnished us with a wide experience, from which we have been able to select the good and reject much that was bad or undesirable. The pioneer life, not only of the earlier settlers, but of each genera tion to the present day, has developed to a high degree the energies, ingenuity and self-reliance of the American people. These pioneers were compelled to be men of all trades. Their limited resources and the lack of time or opportunity to seek for past precedents, impelled them to solve each problem anew. They, thought with vigor and were not fettered with the trammels of science, before they were capable of ex erting their mental faculties to advantage, as Sir Joseph Banks wrote to Thomas Paine in 1788.[from transactions or american society or CIVIL engineers.
