Electric Railway Engineering

Description:

When Electric Railway Engineering was originally published in 1915, the electric railroad was rapidly transforming the nation's cities and suburbs. How trolley cars, interurban cars, and electric freight locomotives operate, and how a railroad must be constructed and maintained to support them, is the subject of this wonderful, historic book. In its pages you'll find chapters about power systems, including overhead and third-rail, and topics such as operation of traction motors, controllers, resistor grids, and other hardware. Long considered a classic, this book has been out of print for nearly 100 years. This new printing is an exact replica of the original, and features nearly 400 pages of text and numerous diagrams.

Reproduction is clean and crisp, though obvious that it has been scanned from an original copy as you can see some pixelation of the characters. This is not objectionable however. Binding appears good also. If interested in this piece of history, well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars An electrical technology treasure trove

J.V. · May 30, 2016

This is a treasure trove of technical information about how trolleys and interurbans worked during the early part of the 20th Century. The text and diagrams clearly describe the components and systems for controlling these electric powered rail vehicles. Railway historians, model railroaders, and museum restoration volunteers will find answers to many of their technical questions in this volume.

This book is a classic for the electric street car industry. With light rail catching on this book can be used for future urban and interurban transportation. It's a good history on the engineering and electrical mechanical innovations of the period.
