Pages : 102
Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual on Fire Protection for Railroad Properties: For the Use and Information of Fire Protection Inspectors The large values invested in railroadproperty, aside from right of way, road beds, etc, and the large liabilities involving the carriers can be readily corn prehended. We are dealing with a problem affecting billions of dollars in property value. When we glance at the enormous growth of the transportation lines in this country in the last 25 years. And with the careful study now given to all phases of safety and economy in operation, it can readily be seen that the question of fire protection and prevention should play no small part, for, aside from the destruction of values brought about by fire losses, there is always the incidental and consequential interruption of operations. The nature of the business of transportation requires that more than ordinary precautions be taken to safeguard against and keep free from the interruptions to their operations which fire loss and damage cause. Such interruption naturally varies with the importance of the property. As an illustration, we might cite the destruction by fire of an interlocking tower, with the subsequent detention or interruption in train service, on up to the large terminal and shop prep erties. Dislocating the machinery of transportation and requiring readjust ment involving far-reaching consequential details.
