Harness the science of railway location to improve safety and efficiency on real-world networks.
The Design of Railway Location presents a clear, principle-based look at how physical and economic factors shape where railways are built and operated. Written as a text for technical schools and useful to practicing engineers, it emphasizes rational design over routine procedure and shows how fixed charges, operating costs, and traffic patterns influence the best location choices.
This edition draws on foundational ideas and practical data to explain how location affects performance, costs, and governance. It blends engineering concepts with economic reasoning to help readers understand how to design transportation systems that meet safety, reliability, and efficiency goals under given traffic conditions.- Foundational principles for locating rail lines and stations based on physics and economics
- How to assess traffic, operating costs, and fixed charges to inform location decisions
- Methods for evaluating performance, costs, and development of railways under different scenarios
- Practical guidance for conducting reconnaissance and field surveys as part of location work

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
