Railway And Traffic Problems PDF Download

Excerpt from The Traffic Problems of Interurban Electric Railroads: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Electric railways can be grouped into four main classes - the urban, suburban and interurban systems, and the electrified divisions of steam railroads. The first, and the type earliest established, is the street car line originally operated by horse power, and now by electricity and located in cities and large towns. The system almost always lies within the city limits, and is generally circumscribed by the thickly settled districts. The cars are run at low speeds, making stops at every street intersection.
