Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Trains at Work When Sam reports for work, his big steam locomo tive is all ready. Men have oiled it and checked it. The fire is roaring in the firebox. In the old days, a fireman spent most of his time shoveling coal. The faster the train went, the more steam it needed and the faster the fireman had to work with his banjo. Sam knows how to use a shovel if he needs to, but that's not his main job. His locomotive has a machine called an automatic stoker which feeds coal into the firebox. Sam just checks up on the fire. He looks at dials and gauges in the locomotive cab, and they tell him' what he wants to know. There is enough steam. Every thing is ship-shape.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Operation of Trains and Station Work and Telegraphy The proper administration and operation of the train department of railways is one of first importance in modern American railway practice. It is the department which comes in closest contact with the general public. Passenger trains must be safely run and on time. Freight trains are of nearly equal importance and freight must be handled without causing friction with shippers. Intelligent, skillful, well directed effort and harmony of action is necessary to ensure this. The operating forces, particularly in the train department have shown an improvement equally as marked as the improvement and progress in railways, and this forward movement continues. Railway men are on the alert for information, they now seek reasons before coming to conclusions. The result being that railway men of the future will have a far wider range of knowledge than railway men of the past ever dreamed of possessing. Those in whom this spirit of inquiry has been awakened will not rest content with knowledge gained through personal experience alone, instead, while continuing to profit by experience they will supplement it with observation, inquiry and study. The editors have endeavored to meet in this particular volume the needs of just such men. Compiled from many sources it contains the essence of numerous standard works by noted writers of authority, to whom grateful acknowledgment is made. Being largely a compilation no claim to originality is made. Doubtless some omissions have been made, and possibly some redundant matter may be found, but, even so, it is believed it will prove a work of much value and interest to those for whom primarily it is designed.

This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Working and Management of an English Railway In June, 1890, the Author was invited to read a paper at the Royal United Service Institution upon the Transport of Troops by Rail within the United King dom, and as a contribution, however humble, towards the elucidation of what might in certain contingencies become a question of great importance in connection with the defence of the country, he has thought it not out of place to embody the result of his consideration of the subject in chapter xvii. Of this work. At an earlier period of the same year, the writer delivered a lecture at the Society of Arts, upon the subject of Modern Improvements of Facilities in Rail way Travelling, and in the hope that this may prove to be to the general reader a not altogether uninteresting résumé of railway progress in this country during the last half century, the lecture, with certain emendations has been printed as an appendix to the present edition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Supply Train: Its Organization and Work The first purpose of this book is to furnish National Army Sup-ply Train Officers, now in the process of organizing Divisional Supply Trains, or who will be detailed for such a duty in the future, with complete information for their use in the organiza tion, administration, training, and operation of their companies. It represents a compilation of all available data on the subject, from such widely varied sources as the experiences of motor truck companies organized at the time of the Punitive Expedition into Mexico, and information gathered from the French auto mobile service. This information the authors have endeavored to compile in as well organized and as well balanced a form as possible, though they have not tried to make it apply wholly to our special mission in France. With its complete detail as to the duties of all members of motor truck companies, as to the Opera tion of motor trucks, and as to truck equipment, truck mechanism and the cause and remedy of truck troubles, it is designed to be of use to every truckmaster and chauffeur. As in the motor transport service each man is so largely a separate unit, he must be a man of intelligence and have a clear understanding of the make-up and operation of his organization. It is hoped, too, that the book will be useful to officers of other arms. The authors know from experience what a hazy idea the majority of officers of other arms have of the Supply Train, just where it fits in the organization of the division and just what its function is; they would be at a loss in the field to know whom to consult when the services of motor transportation were needed. Chapters II and III, it is believed, will be especially valuable to fill this need. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

But while the word South serves to indicate all the large territory of which Mason and Dixon's line is the northern boundary, it must be conceded that Florida and Southern Georgia are the Meccas toward which those who wish to escape the rigors of the northern hibernal season turn their eyes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barrington: Tales of the Trains IF there should be, at this day we live in, any one bold enough to confess that he fished the river Nore, in Ireland, some forty years ago, he might assist me by calling to mind a small inn, about two miles from the conﬂuence of that river with the Barrow, a spot in great favor with those who followed the gentle craft. It was a very unpretending hostel, something wherein cot tage and farmhouse were blended, and only recognizable as a place of entertainment by a tin trout suspended over the doorway, with the modest inscription underneath, -fish erman's Home. Very seldom is it, indeed, that hotel pledges are as honestly fulfilled as they were in this simple announcement. The house was, in all that quiet comfort and unostentatious excellence can make, a veritable Home! Standing in a fine Old orchard of pear and damson trees, it was only approachable by a path which led from the high road, about two miles off, or by the river, which wound round the little grassy promontory beneath the cottage. On the Opposite side of the stream arose cliffs of consider able height, their terraced sides covered with larch and ash, around whose stems the holly, the laurel, and arbutus grew in a wild and rich profusion. A high mountain, rugged with rock and precipice, shut in'the picture, and gave to the river all the semblance of a narrow lake.

The text of this subject was written in 1905 and was then laid aside for four years. All notes were lost or destroyed and therefore I am unable to recollect the sources of much of my information. For that reason I trust that anyone who contributed in the collection of data for the book will lay it to the loss of notes and not to the lack of appreciation, if suitable acknowledgment is not made herein by name. Throughout the preparation of this text I have traveled in every sort of train and motor, with circuses, track-laying trains, and on private inspection trains; I have slept in grading camps, in cabooses of freight trains; and everywhere I have encountered the greatest courtesy and willingness to furnish information, and I desire here to express my appreciation of the kindness and assistance received from every source.
