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.

Book Synopsis American Railroads by : Robert E. Gallamore
Download or read book American Railroads written by Robert E. Gallamore and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once an icon of American industry, railroads fell into a long decline beginning around the turn of the twentieth century. Overburdened with regulation and often displaced by barge traffic on government-maintained waterways, trucking on interstate highways, and jet aviation, railroads measured their misfortune in lost market share, abandoned track, bankruptcies, and unemployment. Today, however, as Robert Gallamore and John Meyer demonstrate, rail transportation is reviving, rescued by new sources of traffic and advanced technology, as well as less onerous bureaucracy. In 1970, Congress responded to the industry's plight by consolidating most passenger rail service nationwide into Amtrak. But private-sector freight service was left to succeed or fail on its own. The renaissance in freight traffic began in 1980 with the Staggers Rail Act, which allowed railroad companies to contract with customers for services and granted freedom to set most rates based on market supply and demand. Railroads found new business hauling low-sulfur coal and grain long distances in redesigned freight cars, while double-stacked container cars moved a growing volume of both international and domestic goods. Today, trains have smaller crews, operate over better track, and are longer and heavier than ever before. Near the end of the twentieth century, after several difficult but important mergers, privately owned railroads increased their investments in safe, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly freight transportation. American Railroads tells a riveting story about how this crucial U.S. industry managed to turn itself around.

Book Synopsis The American Railroad Passenger Car by : John H. White
Download or read book The American Railroad Passenger Car written by John H. White and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Railroad Passenger Car recaptures the lost, but not-too-distant past when 98 percent of all intercity travel in the United States was by rail. It documents in extraordinary detail the ingenuity and splendor of the classic trains as well as the rattle and clatter, the dust and cinders of early rail travel. With clarity and precision, White explains the methods of construction of wood, iron, steel, and aluminum cars. He traces the evolution of wheels and brakes, dining cars and sleeping compartments. And he follows the revolutions in taste and technology that dramatically altered the appearance of the railroad passenger car over the century and a half that it dominated American travel. Detailed plans and diagrams accompanying the text make it possible for model-builders to reconstruct many famous passenger cars themselves.

Book Synopsis An Illustrated Guide to American Freight Train Equipment by : Patrick Dorin
Download or read book An Illustrated Guide to American Freight Train Equipment written by Patrick Dorin and published by Enthusiast Books. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated guide to the wide variety of freight car equipment of the railroads that have and continue to service North America, this book covers each type of freight car and what it was designed to haul, as well as the equipment necessary to keep them all ‘on track.’ Equipment designs are based on the type of commodity that would be shipped. For example, 24-foot box cars are designed to handle 75 to 85 tons of iron ore. High cubic capacity covered hopper cars are designed for handling grain traffic, while lower cubic capacity is designed for handling heavy commodities, such as cement. See the changes for each type through time, like the early Refrigerated Cars that required ice which have evolved into today’s much larger Mechanical Reefers. Great book for modelers.
