Book Description
Excerpt from The Ninth Annual Report of the American Railway Master Mechanics' Association: In Convention at Philadelphia, May 16th and 17th, 1876 Let us take, for example, one division of a railroad, say one hun dred miles long, and which does a freight business during the year represented by car miles. Let the controlling grades be taken at seventy feet to the mile. An ordinary ten-wheel engine will haul over such a road 15 cars, a Consolidation Engine will haul 25 cars. With 15 cars in train it would take trips to perform the work of the division, allowing 100 miles as a day's work for train hands, an engineer at a fireman at a conductor at and three brakemen at each, makes per trip for train hands, or for train hands per annum.. Taking 25 cars in train gives trips or for train hands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
