Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the possibility and benefits of promoting rail communications in Ireland. Focusing on the mechanical principles of railways and the costs of construction and operation, the author examines the potential return on capital invested in proposed railway lines and estimates dividends. The book provides valuable information for engineers and economists interested in the development of railways in Ireland. It also examines the economic principles of railways, including the mechanical principles of railways, the cost of constructing and maintaining them, and the means by which the expense may be reduced to the lowest scale, consistent with the full attainment of the objects of such works. It also probes the return derivable from different amounts of traffic, and the probable dividends from the proposed lines. The author includes remarks on the Standing Orders of the two Houses of Parliament, as they affect the construction of Railways in Ireland, deeming that the value of that very valuable paper could not be too great for any of these statements. The book ultimately concludes that a well-planned system of railways could bring significant economic benefits to Ireland, including increased trade, improved communication, and job creation.
