Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Electric Railway Transportation
A word of explanation and caution to the reader in regard to the methods of different companies, as described in the following pages, is necessary. The conditions on the different properties change often, due to legislative enactments, changes in wages paid, altered demands of the public and other causes.' For this reason it is probable that when this book reaches the hands of its readers some of the methods described therein as employed by individual companies will have been radically altered or even abandoned. Such a condition is, of course, unavoidable in any developing industry. It ought not of itself to impair the value of the book to the average reader if the latter looks upon its pages not as a record of unchanging practice but as descriptive of some of the methods employed by different companies at the time that the book was written.
