Excerpt from The Railway Goods Station: A Guide to Its Control and Operation
The object of this work is to attempt to supply what I have for long felt to be a much-needed want - some information and suggestions on the main principles of organising and regulating a goods station.
There are railway books in abundance, dealing with the subjects of train-running, signalling, statistics, and other mechanical and scientific matters; but so far as I am aware there are not any that treat the important parts of the inner working of a goods station in such a way as to be of real use to the person responsible for carrying on its Operations.
The many complexities and pitfalls of a large station are fully realised only by those persons intimately associated with one, and it frequently passes even their ingenuity to properly cope with them.
