The Commercial Consequences Of A Mixed Gauge On Our Railway System Examined (1848)

By Samuel Sidney

Book Overview

""The Commercial Consequences Of A Mixed Gauge On Our Railway System Examined"" is a book written by Samuel Sidney in 1848. The book analyzes the impact of the mixed gauge system on the railway system in England. The mixed gauge system was a system where different gauges (widths) of tracks were used on the same railway line, which caused problems for the transportation of goods and passengers. Sidney examines the impact of this system on the economy, trade, and commerce of England, and argues for the adoption of a uniform gauge system. The book provides a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the mixed gauge system and offers recommendations for improving the railway system in England. It is a valuable resource for historians, economists, and railway enthusiasts interested in the development of the railway system in England in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
