The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive, 1803 to 1898 (1899)
> g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine. -

Determinants of Rail Rolling Stock Value an Analysis of the Determinants of Locomotive and Freight Wagon Value in the European Market

This locomotive started its second life through a second-hand transaction, 29 years after the manufacturer completed it. Built by Alsthom for Dutch national operator NS in 1982, locomotive 1836 was sold to private rail freight operator LOCON Benelux B.V. in October 2011. Subsequently, the locomotive was repainted and renumbered in 9905. In September 2017, when LOCON Benelux B.V. faced bankruptcy, Rotterdam-based rail fleet management company RailReLease B.V. acquired it. At that time, locomotive 9905 was still going strong at an age of 35 years, showing the potential of second-hand rail vehicles.

Eliminating Barriers to Transit-Oriented Development
See conclusions: 33% Reduction Pages 52 and 53 FHWA-NJ-2010-002 Eliminating Barriers to Transit-Oriented Development FINAL REPORT March 2010 Submitted by Daniel G. Chatman, Ph.D. Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Rutgers University Stephanie E. DiPetrillo Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Rutgers University NJDOT Research Project Manager Vincent F. Nichnadowicz In cooperation with New Jersey Department of Transportation Bureau of Research and U. S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (professionals and craftsmen are more likely to commute by auto, accountants less likely). Adding those household factors does not affect the calculated effect of new housing near transit very much. Auto ownership Households livinggg in new housing near transit have about 30 percent fewer autos than those in new housing farther away. But when controlling for other factors we find that variance in housing type, tenure, and area of the state accounts for most of the differences. This result does not changeg materiallyyq for the quarter mile radius versus the half mile radius. Apartments/condomApartments/condominiumsiniums (multiplier of 0.68) and townhouses/rowhouses (multiplier of 0.77) have much lower auto ownership, as do any rented units regardless of housing type (multiplier of 0.78). Rail station proximity is not significant on its own. Almost 90 percent of new housing near transit stops is apartments or condominiums, and almost 50 percent is rented. These shares are much lower for new housing farther away (about 40 percent and 14 percent respectively). Auto ownership and parking problems associated with new housing near transit will be much lower for high-density development and rented units.
