From the frigid trans-Siberian railroad to the antiquated Indian Railways to the Japanese-style bullet trains, Zoellner offers a stirring story of this most indispensable form of travel. A masterful narrative history, Train also explores the sleek elegance of railroads and their hypnotizing rhythms, and explains how locomotives became living symbols of sex, death, power, and romance.

Freight Train by Donald Crews Pdf

In simple, powerful words and vibrant illustrations, Donald Crews evokes the rolling wheels of that childhood favorite: a train. This Caldecott Honor Book features bright colors and bold shapes. Even a child not lucky enough to have counted freight cars will feel he or she has watched a freight train passing after reading Freight Train. Donald Crews used childhood memories of trains seen during his travels to his grandparents' farm in the American South as the inspiration for this timeless favorite. New York magazine's The Strategist chose Freight Train as one of the "Best (Nonobvious) Baby Books to Bring to a Shower." As The Strategist stated: "The Caldecott Honor Book is spare and minimal in both art and text and follows the journey of a freight train and all its cars until it rolls off the page and into the distance. It’s a good way to learn all the different names of train cars, too." Red caboose at the back, orange tank car, green cattle car, purple box car, black tender and a black steam engine . . . freight train.

Modern Freight Car Estimating by O. M. Stimson Pdf

Excerpt from Modern Freight Car Estimating: Containing Necessary Information and Tables Appertaining to the Proper Method of Compiling Correct Estimates on Freight Equipment The person intrusted with the duty of preparing an esti mate sometimes fails to appreciate the importance of care fully considering each detail entering into the construction of a car. Accuracy is absolutely essential, as the margin of profit is so small at the best, that a slight omission or over sight may cause heavy losses. The above remarks are equally applicable if accuracy is not attained in dealing with weights and measures. Many tables have been produced by the leading manufacturers which treat upon weights and measures of the various mate rials entering into car construction. Some of these tables differ widely in the results shown for the same material, therefore, a great deal of care has been exercised by the writer in selecting and reducing to a concise form the various tables which are included in this work.
