INTRODUCTION
MODERN Railroad Air-Brake Practice is an important subject in the Art of Railroading or Technique of Modern Transportation.
The increased weight of locomotives, the heavier tonnage of trains, and high speeds have made a study of Air-brake practice of supreme importance.
Changed conditions in railway operation have brought about improvements in the construction and operation of Air-brakes.
The latest improvements are fully described and illustrated, followed with questions and answers. The Westinghouse, New York, and Dukesmith systems are covered, making this volume the most comprehensive treatise and instruction on the subject extant.
It is written in a style which railroad men will readily understand and the subjects are divided into sections, with a series of questions and answers following each section.
It is believed this volume of the Prior Self-Educational Railway Series will be of great benefit to beginners as well as to advanced students and men experienced in the subject.
