Electric Railway Engineering (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025180809)

"Electric Railway Engineering," originally published in 1907, offers a comprehensive overview of the principles and practices involved in the design, construction, and operation of electric railways. Authored by H.F. Parshall and H.M. Hobart, this volume delves into the foundational aspects of electric traction, power generation, distribution, and control systems specific to railway applications.

The book provides detailed insights into the selection and performance of electrical equipment, including motors, generators, and transformers, alongside considerations for overhead lines, substations, and signaling systems. It remains a valuable resource for understanding the historical development and engineering principles underpinning early electric railway technology.
