Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Railroad Traffic and Rates, Vol. 1

The information presented in these two volumes was secured not only from the printed sources noted in the lists of references following the several chapters, but also from railway officials and other traffic and transportation experts. The blank forms, which have been reproduced in large numbers to make the book concrete and of practical use to railway men, were contributed by traffic officials who carefully explained the manner in which the various forms and papers are used. Much of the other technical material was secured by personal interviews and correspondence.

All of the chapters of a technical character were submitted, either in typewritten form or in galley proof, to traffic and transportation experts for criticism, correction, and enlargement. In some instances the same chapter was read by two or more officials. The authors wish to express their appreciation of the assistance thus received. The names of those who have aided with criticism and the titles of the chapters read by the several experts are as follows:

Chapter IV. The Organization of the Freight Traffic Department.

George D. Dixon, Freight Traffic Manager, Pennsylvania Railroad Company.

R. C. Caples, General Agent, Traffic Department, New York Central Lines.
