Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Invest in Railways I have also written one or two chapters on market operations, market influences and conditions, for I wish the book to be a guide to the novitiate as well as to the experienced. Many refrain from investing and speculating because they are frightened by the complexities and intricacies of the Stock Exchange, and of the vast array of influences that determine the prices of stocks and shares. They cannot under stand them, and therefore I have devoted a portion of the book to enlightening them on matters of this kind, as well as in enlightening them on railway investments, railway administration and prospects.

These powers are of such importance to the investor that I have made them the keynote of the following pages; and although I have introduced no new arguments, I trust that the more or less exhaustive discussion which follows will be found serviceable, and deprive the characteristic dealt with of the greater part of the horror with which it is undoubtedly regarded by the average investor. Its drawbacks are almost entirely counterpoised by the peculiarities of capitalisation which it engendered, and investors need not expose themselves to its influences unless they like.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Railways: A Financial and Commercial Survey The day of the steam traction railway is nearly over. Already electric traction has superseded steam in many branches of transportation, and the transition may be completed within the lifetime of the present generation. This may therefore be a suitable occasion for reviewing the work of the steam railway. No better field for such a review could be desired than the country which was the pioneer of railway builders. The British railways system is not only the oldest of all, but it is in many ways the most interesting. Though it has been by no means the most enterprising, it has had the greatest influence on the development of railways throughout the world. Although now a small system compared with that of the United States, there is more to be learned from it not only by the railway engineer, but by the traffic manager, the trader and the law-maker. Its very faults and shortcomings are instructive. A retrospect of British railways carries us back very nearly a whole century. It calls up before us a long procession of famous railway builders, administrators and financial organisers. Stephenson, Brunel, Brassey, Peto, the railway kings of their day, pass before us in imagination as we try to estimate the permanent value of the gigantic task which they accomplished. In the long roll of railway chairmen and managers many brilliant though half-forgotten names stand out pre-eminently. Moon, Finlay, Grierson, Watkin, Gooch, have all left their mark on the British railway of to-day. Not the least distinguished of them was the late Lord Salisbury, who in the railway crisis of 1866 was called in as a deus ex machina to rescue one of the most hopeless of the many railways then in bankruptcy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Railways These irregularities might have been corrected, to some extent, by the companies applying premiums they had received on issuing new stocks, towards the reduction or elimination of the outstanding items in their property or con struction accounts; but no such course has apparently ever been adopted by the companies. Without receiving. Any consideration for doing so, the companies, quite voluntarily, increased the amount of their liabilities by 44 millions so manipulating their accounts, that debenture holders were credited with about 20, in addition to every 100, which had been advanced by them. The ordinary stockholders, moreover, agreed between themselves, by a process known as duplication, to make it appear to the world, that, additional sums had been paid in cash, upon every 100, which had been originally paid, or credited, on their stocks. This watering process. 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 British Railway Position: Reprinted From the Statist The inherent vice of the train - mile unit is its uncertainty. As a standard of measurement a train is little better than the historical lump of chalk. One train may carry 600 tons, or, in America, perhaps tons of paying freight, whilst another train may consist of two small waggons, with two tons in each waggon, run at a loss under the incentive of keen competition. In train-mile statements each of these trains are treated as if they were identical. Hence, whilst train-mile figures are most useful - essential, indeed, for some purposes - they are, for other pur poses, utterly unsound and worthless. Why should not, both ton-miles and train-miles be used according to their respective values for the purpose in view at the moment? Surely in selecting a statistical unit for any statement it is invariably right to choose the best that is available.

It is not to be regarded as a text book oi railway management, and considerations of space have rendered it necessary altogether to omit some topics that might have been treated and to dismiss others with only a brief reference.
