Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough examination of the immense operating expense faced by railroads for locomotive terminals and cinder pits. The author, who has access to a wealth of specific and accurate data on this issue, makes a compelling case for the adoption of power-operated cinder conveyors as a solution to high labor costs at cinder pits. The book provides a comparison of cinder pit operating expenses at 25 different terminals, before and after the installation of power-operated equipment, demonstrating the potential savings in this area. Notably, the author emphasizes that these savings can be achieved while simultaneously preserving the safety standards crucial to railroad operations. Ultimately, this book serves as an invaluable resource for railroad officials seeking to reduce operating costs and improve terminal efficiency by adopting modern, labor-saving equipment in their cinder pits.
