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 and published in 1848. The book examines the potential economic impacts of a mixed gauge railway system in England. A mixed gauge railway system would allow for trains with different track widths to run on the same tracks, which would increase flexibility and efficiency in the transportation of goods and people. However, the author argues that the costs associated with implementing a mixed gauge system would outweigh the benefits, and that it would ultimately lead to confusion and inefficiency. Sidney takes a critical approach to the idea of a mixed gauge railway system, highlighting the potential negative consequences for businesses and the economy as a whole. This book provides insight into the debates surrounding railway infrastructure in the mid-19th century, and sheds light on the challenges and complexities of transportation planning and policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
