Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the shortcomings of the railway system of the time, proposing ways to bring about much-needed reform. The author examines the excessive costs associated with railway construction and maintenance, as well as the lack of coordination and efficiency in management, res…ulting in wasted resources and poor service.

The book also explores the technical aspects of railway operation, such as the use of tenders and the weight distribution of trains, and proposes innovative solutions to improve efficiency and safety. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by the railway industry at the time, offering practical recommendations for improvement that could benefit both railway companies and the general public. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Aggiungi al carrello8vo. [4], 147, [1] pp. 3 woodcut-engraved plates, 4 collotype sepia-tinted photo plates w/ tissue guards present, 5 plates (3 large folding). Brick-red publisher's cloth, gilt lettering front cover & spine (scuffing & wear head & foot of spine, minor wear to corners, shaken), still a VG- copy, from the library of former Confeder…ate officer Colonel and later Colonel Richard L. Maury (1840-1907), served in the Army of Northern Virginia for the Confederacy, was Superintendent of Immigration under Emperor Maximilian, and by 1868 became a respected lawyer in Virginia, and was son of the noted scientist and inventor Matthew Fontaine Maury (1806-1873), best remembered for developing the electrically controlled naval mine, as well as efforts to persuade European powers to support the Confederacy. First edition of this promotional work for the Fairlie articulated steam locomotive with driving wheels on bogies, and at the time one named the "Mountaineer" had been ordered by the newly constructed Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and was the only Double Fairlie to operate on an American narrow gauge railway. After his initial trials for his invention, Fairlie received many orders the newly developed locomotive, and by 1876 43 different railways operated his patent locomotives, which by 1870 were being produced by the Fairlie Engine & Steam Carriage Co., but ceased production after the death of his partner England. His locomotives proved especially popular in Mexico, and 49 of his massive 0-6-0+0-6-0 were to remain in operation until the end of the 1920's.
