Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Railway Library, 1913: A Collection of Noteworthy Addresses and Papers, Mostly Delivered or Published During the Year Named
Following the theory, somewhat in eclipse in certain quarters just now, that we can best judge the progress and tendencies of the present by the achievements of the past, this volume opens with a brief summary of Fifty Years of British Railways extracted from the Jubilee Number of the London Railway N ews. This will serve as a companion picture _to the graphic story of James J. Hill's Life Adventure, covering forty years of railway building in the United States in the volume for 1912. The problems confronting railway builders in the two countries were widely different, but the aims, adequate service at reasonable and remunerative rates, were and are identical.
