Présentation de l'éditeur

The books that make up theS cience of Railways, of which this is a part, have much to say, directly and indirectly, about theE quipment and Train Service of railways. Both these subjects bear directly on the dutie3 and responsibilities of engineers and firemen. It is as impossible to afford a separate and connected account of such duties as it is to afford such an account of the duties of superintendents or comptrollers. Railway service laps and interlaps in every direction, and the engineer and fireman to fully understand their duties must also understand the things that are germane thereto. This requires that they should study railroading not piecemeal, but as a whole. It was the impossibility of separating the duties of particular departments of the service and describing them apart that first constrained me to take up the subject as a whole. I started out to describe particular branches of the service, but quickly found that their connection with the others was so close as to render a description of the whole necessary. Thus I was led reluctantly and contrary to my original intention to take up the subject in its entirety.
