Book Description: Out of Steam: Dieselization and the American Railroad, 1920-1960 In this captivating book, Jeffrey W. Schramm delves into the transformation of the American railroad industry during the mid-twentieth century, exploring the shift from steam locomotives to diesel engines and its profound impact on the industry, business practices, and communities across the country. The book examines the development of diesel technology, the reasons behind the adoption of diesel by individual railroads, and the far-reaching consequences of this change on the railroad industry, society, and the environment. Plot Summary: The story begins in the early 1920s, when the railroad industry was facing declining passenger traffic and increasing competition from automobiles and airplanes. To adapt to these challenges, railroads began experimenting with new technologies, including the diesel locomotive. As the diesel engine proved more efficient and reliable than steam, railroads gradually replaced their steam locomotives with diesels, leading to a fundamental shift in the industry's operations and culture.
Out of Steam: Dieselization and the American Railroad, 1920-1960 В этой увлекательной книге Джеффри Шрамм углубляется в трансформацию американской железнодорожной отрасли в середине двадцатого века, исследуя переход от паровозов к дизельным двигателям и его глубокое влияние на промышленность, бизнес-практику и сообщества по всей стране. В книге рассматриваются развитие дизельных технологий, причины принятия дизеля отдельными железными дорогами и далеко идущие последствия этого изменения для железнодорожной отрасли, общества и окружающей среды. Сюжет: история начинается в начале 1920-х годов, когда железнодорожная отрасль столкнулась со снижением пассажиропотока и растущей конкуренцией со стороны автомобилей и самолетов. Чтобы адаптироваться к этим вызовам, железные дороги начали экспериментировать с новыми технологиями, в том числе с тепловозом. Поскольку дизельный двигатель оказался более эффективным и надёжным, чем паровой, железные дороги постепенно заменяли свои паровозы дизелями, что привело к фундаментальному сдвигу в работе и культуре отрасли.
Out of Steam: Dieselization and the American Railroad, 1920-1960 In questo affascinante libro Geoffrey Schramm approfondisce la trasformazione del settore ferroviario americano a metà del ventesimo secolo, esplorando la transizione dai trenini ai motori diesel e il suo profondo impatto sull'industria, le pratiche aziendali e le comunità di tutto il paese. Il libro affronta lo sviluppo della tecnologia diesel, le ragioni per cui il diesel è stato adottato da singole ferrovie e le enormi conseguenze di questo cambiamento per il settore ferroviario, la società e l'ambiente. La storia inizia all'inizio degli annì 20, quando il settore ferroviario ha affrontato una diminuzione dei flussi di passeggeri e una crescente concorrenza da parte di automobili e aerei. Per adattarsi a queste sfide, le ferrovie hanno iniziato a sperimentare nuove tecnologie, tra cui il motore termico. Poiché il motore diesel è stato più efficiente e affidabile del vapore, le ferrovie hanno progressivamente sostituito le loro locomotive con i diesel, causando un cambiamento fondamentale nel lavoro e nella cultura del settore.
