Excerpt from The Railroad Pocket-Book: A Quick Reference Cyclopedia of Railroad Information This little book has been prepared to give some of the Information constantly called for different branches of the railroad service. No book of the kind can ever be complete, as new devices are constantly being brought out-older ones are being changed and practice and theories vary. It is intended to give such information as is needed along different lines, in a brief but clear manner, to have them in handy form and easily found when wanted. To this end the whole book has been alphabetically arranged and the index abandoned as useless and confusing. All air brake matter is again divided alphabetically under Air Brake as being more convenient than having it scattered all through the book. Suggestions, additional data, and any information which the reader feels would make the book more helpful will be thankfully received and errors gladly corrected. Acknowledgement is due numerous catalogs, trade papers and other sources of Information. Hoping for your co-operation.
