Excerpt from Freight Terminals and Trains: Including a Revision of Yards and Terminals The favorable reception accorded Yards and Terminals, published by the Railway Age Gazette in 1906, and the many requests for a revised edition, encouraged the writer to undertake this revision. The results have been practically a new book. The scope has been greatly enlarged and the treatment broadened, so that the new material exceeds by a considerable amount the revised portions of the former book. Hence it seemed both wise and necessary to give the book a new title. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Yards and Terminals and Their Operation The relative importance of the freight terminals of a line of railroad is usually not understood, and the attention they deserve is not always given to them. Poor's Manual gives the mileage of steam railroads in the United States on December 31, 1903 as 207,335 and in 1904 as 212,349. The gross earnings in 1904 were $1,977,638,713; net earnings $641,807,884 and the ratio of expenses to earnings, 67.56 per cent. During the year 1904 there were 543,532,369 freight-train miles made and 1,277,771,573 tons moved a total distance of 173,628,034,040 miles. The gross earnings from freight were $1,374,102,275. In 1902 the total length of track in operation in the United States was about 289,000 miles, including in round numbers 17,000 miles of second, third and fourth tracks and 62,000 miles of yard tracks and side tracks. From this it will be seen that for every four miles of road (computing double track on the basis of actual distance covered) there is used one mile of switching or terminal track.
