The Railway Goods Station by Fred W. West

A Guide to its Control and Operation.

Published 1912 in London by E. & F. N. Spon and New York by Spon & Chamberlain

A scarce book in any edition with no other copies currently advertised.

"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, signaling, 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. "
