PERFORMANCE OF RAILROAD SYSTEMS AND USE OF ROLLING STOCK AND LABOR

PRESTAZIONI DEI SISTEMI FERROVIARI ED IMPIEGO DI MATERIALE RIMORCHIATO E MANODOPERA

On the basis of the operating statistics of the principal railway systems relations are established between the performances of these systems, expressed in terms of freight and passenger carried, and the corresponding need of rolling stock and labor. Brought into light are the operational aspects common to the European and American railway systems with regard to freight stock; with regard to the productivity of the personnel, there is, instead, observed a big difference which is placed in relation to the percentage of passenger traffic with respect to the total. The determined relationships are intended to be used in the studies on the feasibility of new systems or those to be modified.
