Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind to examine railway heritage in the context of tourism in a comprehensive, internationally relevant manner. It explores the challenges faced by developers and operators of railway heritage destinations including financial, legal and managerial sustainability in the modern tourism industry. These themes are exemplified by a variety of case studies of railway heritage in tourism from regions around the world including North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Australasia. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars of cultural tourism as well as researchers and practitioners of industrial heritage tourism, along with graduate and senior undergraduate students.

This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine the process of railway development in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China from historical and comparative perspectives. Moreover, it discusses and compares the East Asian experiences of railway development with cases in Germany, which was a mainstay of railway development in Europe. After the opening of Japan in the mid-nineteenth century, the country achieved import substitution of locomotives in half a century. This book explores the social capability of Meiji Japan to overtake the advanced countries in railway technology. Parallel with the expansion of the Japanese empire, a large team of engineers constructed and operated the colonial government railways of Taiwan and Korea and the South Manchuria Railway. The book clearly outlines the education and training of these engineers. The management capabilities of the colonial railways and South Manchuria Railway were transferred to the postwar period, and such expertise supported the economic development of each country and region. These dramatic East Asian experiences of railway development are compared with European cases, mainly German railways.

Book excerpt: The Rail mode of transportation is the cheapest and fastest mode of transport when it is compared with other modes of transportation.It is also called as mass transportation system. Railroad engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering field dedicated to building better, faster, more efficient rail systems. The railroad industry uses these special engineers to care for and plan railway systems that can transport goods and people. The discipline combines a number of engineering disciplines—electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and even computer engineering. They plan and deploy rail projects with specialized knowledge and help the transportation engineering world expand and maintain what's already built. Train control is part of a larger field of transportation engineering. The infrastructure of travel and transportation is a large part of creating a logical and practical civil infrastructure. Railway Engineering is a specialist domain in Transportation and Civil Engineering. Railway Engineering is a multi-specialty engineering discipline within the transportation sector and Civil Engineering. It is a specialist field with numerous functions or specialist areas which can be very specific and specialized or broad. However, the railway sector in one of the incredibly complex and challenging environments brings extremely rewarding fields along with it, which can bring the highest credibility. Railways are incredibly complicated and expensive systems that are exclusively designed for the efficient passage of trains to transport people, cargo, and equipment. The incredibly advanced trains which use rail networks are expensive vehicles, and so a Railway Engineer is all the time faced with different challenges. Railway Engineering is a branch of civil engineering in a broader sense. It deals with the construction, location, and maintenance of railways. Depending on the roles assigned within the Railway Engineering branch, an Engineer is supposed to be involved in the designing, maintaining, construction, and indulging in various operations of trains and rail systems that include monitoring and controlling the trains and the rail networks. Railway engineers can be found involved with the designing, construction procedure, maintenance works, operation of trains, and the train systems and also associated in the infrastructure that is must for railways, within the private sector or public sector. Railway engineers can be mechanical, electrical, civil engineers (structural or bridge), rolling stock engineers, plan engineers, architecture, specialist executives, and interfacing engineers. Each discipline has diverse different sectors and specializations. Railway Engineers hold mechanical design skills and knowledge of propulsion systems that allow them to design train vessels. Railway Engineers mostly found on-site supervising the rail system or performing any functions of the field.
