Read Ebook Railroad Accidents Their Cause and Prevention (Classic Reprint)By R. C. Richards
Excerpt from Railroad Accidents Their Cause and PreventionMuch has been said and written during recent years about the increasing number of rail road accidents in this country - their cause and what action should be taken by the government, the railroads and the employees to reduce them and the consequent loss of life and limb resulting therefrom. Believing that if the cause of our many accidents were properly understood more care would be taken by the corporations, employees and persons at fault to reduce the number, I shall try to point out in the following pages what investigation has shown me to be the cause of many accidents and how their reoccurrence could, I think, be prevented.In the transaction of the business of a railroad its first and highest duty is to the passengers, to carry them safely and speedily; next, to take care of the property entrusted to it for transportation, and for which it is practically an insurer against everything but the act of God or the public enemy, and deliver it with reasonable dispatch to the consignee in practically the same condition as that in which it is received.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Prescient but only because common sense rules By Kris This very old document is chock-full of short-form case studies of railroad accidents and their causes. It is written for the railroad worker of the early 20th century using examples from both 19th and 20th century accidents. Common sense prevails in the explanations, for the most part, but the frank presentation of the vast majority of the problems of that period's railway safety problems are still applicable today. From simple dreadful mistakes passengers make on the platform to exploding steam engine boilers to signal failures, this is a comprehensive commentary on railway safety of the early 20th century for just a buck.

I felt as though the author was in a sense spending most of his time finding fault with railroad companies most of the time. the appendix of the train rules were very good.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Old time common sense. By MikeyB I gave this 5 stars. It was just common sense things that went wrong that injured someone. Still happens today. Easy reading without getting into too many details. As a person who is into railroading and work on railroad equipment, I really enjoyed this. Shows that people did stupid things even so long ago, but instead of doing it in your car, you trusted your life to someone else to get you there, in a train, just like flying today, and you have to hope they can make the right decision all the time.
