The term 'funicular' is often associated with the little cliff railways still to be found at a number of seaside resorts, yet strictly it also covers all forms of cable-worked lines. Cable-operated inclines have played an important part in the quarrying industry and the last example of cable haulage on British Railways survived until as late as 1964. The cable-operated Great Orme Tramway still survives in the United Kingdom but the cable cars that are the most famous are those in San Francisco. This book describes the development and applications of cable railways. The variety of purpose and the different operating systems employed - animal, hydraulic, steam and electric power - all contribute to a fascinating subject.

Railway Transportation Systems covers the entire range of railway passenger systems, from conventional and high-speed intercity systems to suburban, regional, operating on steep gradients, and urban ones. It also examines in depth freight railway systems transporting conventional loads, heavy loads, and dangerous goods. For each system, the text provides a definition; an overview of its evolution and examples of good practice; the main design, construction, and operational characteristics; and the preconditions for its selection. Additionally, it offers a general overview of safety, interfaces with the environment, forces acting on the track, and techniques that govern the stability and guidance of railway vehicles. This new edition brings two new chapters. One concerns pre-feasibility studies of urban rail projects, and the other analyses the operation of railway systems under specific weather conditions and natural phenomena. New material examines dilemmas, trends and innovations in rail freight transportation; a new definition for high-speed rail; a number of case studies; and an update of cutting-edge technologies. It is ideal for graduate students, engineers, consultants, manufacturers, and transport company executives who need a reference and guide.
