Download or read book Train Wrecks written by Robert C. Reed and published by Pictorial History of Accidents. This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American railroad history is filled with accounts of misadventure. Steam boilers blew up. Bridges collapsed under the weight of heavy engines. Locomotives crashed head-on because of signal failures. Passenger cars derailed, often with dire results. Lightly built wooden coaches splintered on impact, and the debris often ignited from the coals in the iron stoves used for heating. In the mid-nineteenth century American railroading was burgeoning -- a growth too fast for safe operations. Despite the grim statistics of 19th and early 20th century train wrecks that resulted, one cannot help but find the photographs and public prints of the day interesting. When you pick up this wondrous book, you will have a hard time putting it down.

Download or read book Riding the Rails in the USA written by Martin W. Sandler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-07 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preachers railed against it: "Traveling at speeds up to 20 miles per hour went against the Lord's plan!" Doctors told their patients that traveling on it would cause serious physical and mental ailments, including the boiling of the blood. Newspapers cried out, "It is a topsy-turvy, harum-scarum whirligig!" But it didn't matter: America loved the train and the freedom of movement that came with it. Riding the Rails in America traces the dynamic relationship of America with the train, showing how the railroad was the single largest influence on the development of the nation's history and economy as it became possible to move freight and people farther and faster than ever before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive text that investigates a systematic approach to handling the design of resilient systems Resilient systems are an essential bulwark to enable the capability of a system against unprecedented adversities. Systems may include transportation, such as aircraft and rail, power systems, and urban infrastructure. Resilience may enable the preservation of physical assets and human lives. It can also require architectural restructuring of the system itself or simple measures, such an increase in design margin. Architecting Resilient Systems creates a comprehensive list of design principles for creating systems where resilience is essential. With a detailed approach to both these general principles and their practical applications, it permits the creation and management of resilient systems in virtually any key area or industry. Richly supported with case evidence and fully updated to reflect the latest research and best practice, it’s a critical tool in the fight against potential societal collapse. Readers of the second edition of Architecting Resilient Systems will also find: Numerous case studies including Apollo 11 and US Airways Flight 1549 Detailed discussion of design principles including drift protection, repairability, loose coupling, and more Supporting chapters on resilience architecting and infrastructure Architecting Resilient Systems is ideal for professionals working in industry responsible for systems design and architecting as well as for undergraduate and graduate students studying systems engineering courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Originally chartered in 1849 as the Peoria & Oquawka, the TP&W provided an important bypass for trains to avoid the often congested rail network in Chicago. Train wrecks on the TP&W over the years resulted in improved and safer technology that is still in use today nationally. Conflicts between the railroad's management and employees led to the creation and development of national railroad labor unions. On a local level, the TP&W served many local businesses and made an effort to establish positive relationships with communities that it passed through. At one time, Toledo, Peoria & Western was a name known in virtually every household in the area. The TP&W is still operating today and serves many businesses along its route, including grain elevators and factories, and interchanges freight cars with other railroads in the area for transportation around the country."--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Bridges and Men written by Joseph Gies and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since human time first began, men have needed to cross streams and valleys, span chasms and torrents—and have found ways of getting to the other side. In this sweeping historic survey, Joseph Gies, author of Adventure Underground: The Story of the World’s Great Tunnels, recounts for our pleasure the history of bridges through the ages. From the first vines thrown across small streams to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge across the entrance to New York Harbor and to plans for possible bridges across the English Channel and the Straits of Messina, Mr. Gies interests us in the men who dreamed bridges and built them; in the terrible catastrophes of bridges that collapsed—including that across the First of Tay and “Galloping Gertie” across the Tacoma Narrows; in painters and poets and novelists who have found their inspiration in or on bridges. In large part, that is, BRIDGES AND MEN is about practical visionaries who combined the genius of engineers and architects, the talents of propagandists and business men: The Bridge Brothers, who built the world-faced Pont d’Avignon; Jean-Rodolphe Perronet, who built the Pont de la Concorde; john Rennie, the Scottish farmer boy who built New London Bridge; George and Robert Stephenson, who invented the railroad and railroad bridge; and Thomas Telford, who bridged the ocean at Menai Strait.
