| Item Description: | "This book presents a comprehensive overview of railway passenger and freight transport systems, from design through to construction and operation. It covers the range of railway systems, from conventional and high-speed inter-urban passenger systems, through suburban and regional and urban, specialist and freight. For each, it provides a definition, a brief overview of its evolution, the main design, construction and operational characteristics, the preconditions for the selection and the steps required to check the feasibility of its implementation." |
