Understand how federal rules shape railroad safety and penalties, with practical decisions you can reference.

This edition distills key rulings and interpretations related to the Federal Safety Appliance Acts and the Hours of Service Act. It covers who is affected, what counts as a violation, and how penalties are determined, in clear, historical context.

Readers gain insight into enforcement approaches, the role of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and how opinions shaped the responsibilities of carriers, officers, and employees. The material emphasizes the relationship between safety requirements and real-world railroad operations.

Definitions and scope: who falls under the acts, what counts as a common carrier, and how applicability is determined.

Enforcement and penalties: how penalties are calculated and who brings actions for penalties.

Employee duties and fatigue: how rest periods, intermissions, and hours of service are treated in practice.

Practical interpretations: decisions about repairs, handling defective cars, and the role of evidence in enforcement.

Ideal for readers of railroad history, legal history, and those studying federal regulatory frameworks for transportation safety.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a range of federal safety appliance and hours of service acts that were enacted in the United States with the primary purpose of protecting workers in this sector throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author provides an overview of each act, and in doing so, also provides insights into the legal and practical realities of dangerous working conditions in the railroad industry during the period and how workers attempted to improve their safety. The author traces the development of this railroad legislation from its beginnings, and discusses the political and social forces that shaped both the initial acts and their later amendments. The book goes beyond legal analysis to also explore the significant role that labor unions played in the development of these landmark acts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 9781332322947_0
