Passenger rail terminology

Titanic was the dream ship that was thought to be completely unsinkable, but did not take the safety of the passengers into deep enough consideration. They neglected safety standards and procedures which proved to be the cause of death of many of the passengers on board. On the early morning of April 15th, 1912, that passenger filled ship collided with an iceberg causing over 2,200 passengers to struggle to survive through hypothermia, drowning, lifeboat scarcity, and other conditions that…

the rudders were too small so the ship did not turn in time and so the ship hit the iceberg on her starboard side leaving a tiny trail of small punctures in the hull. These small breaks were all that was needed to seal the fate of titanic and her passengers for now over 400 tons of water was pouring in…

Do you know what caused the Titanic disaster? I know what caused it- actually not a what, but a who caused it. I am getting the information from the book Exploring the Titanic. Here are two things and reasons why the Titanic ended up sinking. First, the captain probably assisted with the sinking. I bet he helped cause it for three reasons. First, on page 18, it says that he posted the first iceberg warning on the bulletin board and did nothing about it. Second, on the same page, it says they…

Taking place in the North Atlantic Ocean the sinking of the Titanic on April 14-15th, 1912 was a very terrifying day for Captain Edward J. Smith along with 2,200 passengers and crew.

Logistics is not merely organizing and streamlining the transport of goods. It requires consideration for the various challenges shippers and logistics experts face on a regular basis. The shipping industries, which include truck, rail, air, and sea transport face many challenges. Some of those challenges are industry specific; while others are challenges faced by all modes of transport. The most common challenges are those related to costs of fuel, limitations in infrastructure, and…

In the nearly 150 years since the official ending of the Civil War, we have had the privilege of being able to look back and see why things happened the way they did. We can see that both the North and South came into battle with certain advantages, as well as disadvantages. One question that remains involves whether or not the North was an inevitable victor. Here we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and come to a conclusion to this question. We can begin with the most…

From a horseback rider, it would take days to weeks to gather and distribute information, but by rail it took hours to days. Therefore, the Army’s response time was much faster. To even further improve response…

they would not have limited their activities to the deadliest and most problematic of railway crossings in city streets. Stowell uses Syracuse, NY to prove this theory. Very little rail traffic passed through Syracuse because of the two-line freight bypass around the city, but the bypass itself led to concentrated rail lines right outside of the city. If the Great Strike represented an attack on the railroads as an incarnation of Industrialization, then Syracuse’s strike would have focused its…

Despite all the efforts, there have been incidents of derailment, fire and collisions resulting in injuries and death, which raises questions on the safety standards provided by the ministry. Some of the safety issues faced by Indian railways include poor infrastructure, lack of resources, funding, and negligence. With the rise in the number of passengers,…
