Kansas City Southern Railway
Rail yards serve as major nodes that facilitate delivery of cargo to the consignee. The level of operational efficiency maintained within rail yards determines whether customers receive cargo late. Various external and internal factors can impede the operational efficiency of rail yards. The future growth of rail industry depends on how well it manages a potentially serious problem inherent to all railroads--rail congestion. This study reviews the processes that occur within the Knoche rail yard, which is located in Kansas City, Kansas, and also examines several strategies to improve the operational efficiency of the yard's rip track facility. This study reveals that the operational efficiency of the Knoche rail yard may be enhanced if the following occur: (1) increase the rip track facility queue population from fifteen to twenty-two, and (2) spot bad order cars directly onto the two tracks leading into the rip track facility. Finally, the amount of double handling by switch engines daily may be decreased by as much as 96% within the rail yard.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Future Tactical Truck System Maximization
This study explores the Future Tactical Truck System (FTTS) as it applies to the sustainment distribution system on the future battlefield. Objective Force logistics on the battlefield is required by the Objective Force Concept White Paper to be sustainable, trainable, versatile, responsive, survivable and agile. The FTTS is scheduled to be the primary transport vehicle that would enable the OF sustainment distribution system. The FTTS, with movement tracking system (MTS) and embedded radio frequency (RF-Tag) technology will improve motor transport operations and sustainment. The primary application of these technologies alone, in and of themselves will not be enough to meet Objective Force requirements. Changes to doctrine, organization, training, leader development, materials, personnel and facilities (DOTLM-PF) have to be explored to maximize the effectiveness of the FTTS enabled sustainment distribution system in the Objective Force. To investigate and gauge the appropriate changes, analysis is needed to test viable concepts. This study explores four proven logistical concepts from top American corporations; Schneider Trucking Corporation's concepts for fleet management and maintenance management, Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad's concept for railcar management and Wal-Mart's concept for distribution management. These concepts are applied to a FTTS sustainment distribution model and analyzed through the prism of DOTLM-PF to gain insights on possible changes that meet the Objective Force requirements and maximize effectiveness of the system. Qualitative analysis is used to provide discovery, insight and understanding through the eye of the researcher.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A World History of Mobility
As a tool of globalized mobility, the carprovides a useful barometer for charting the global development of socio-cultural, economic, technical, and political modernization. Shaped by prevailing gender and racial norms and popularized by a Western-driven car culture, it is a commodity whose access and use embodies wider inequalities. In this comprehensive world history of (auto)mobility, Gijs Mom draws upon his extensive research into the field to assess the past and present of road cultures, and hypothesize their future. Ranging from the impact of climate change to decolonization, this volume spotlights how profoundly 'automobilism' impacts our sense of identity and imagination.
Power Unleashed
Supercharging in all its forms is the most exciting feature ever created to go under the bonnet of a motor car. Blowers were rare yet highly desirable devices in their early heyday of the 1920s and '30s, an era in which compressors graced supremely glamorous and race-winning cars. They also won respect from aviators eager to exploit high altitudes and this led to prolific use of forced induction in the air in World War II and brought forth many of the engineering geniuses who populate the pages of this scholarly work. Having seemed abandoned on land, supercharging found new acolytes who perfected blowers for road and track. They rescued the turbocharger to open new avenues for high-pressure boosting in the 1970s and '80s. Into the 21st century turbocharging has found its way into more and more cars to enhance both performance and fuel efficiency. Volume 1, "Rushing toward the racing zenith, 1890s to 1950s," begins by introducing the bold pioneers who first won races with blowers in 1910 and then took to the air to gain altitude with supercharging in the Great War.Inventive ideas for piston-type blowers, Roots-type, centrifugal, screw-type, vane-type, exhaust-driven turbos and other new compressor technologies.How Fiat, Mercedes and Duesenberg vied to be first in racing with blowers in the early 1920s, sparking a world-wide swathe of interest in exotic supercharged road and track cars that also embraced the likes of Alfa Romeo, Bentley, MG, Miller, Sunbeam and many more.As befits its title, "Wartime boost to forced induction, 1930s to 1970s," Volume 2's focus is on the huge strides made in supercharging and turbocharging in World War II by Allied and Axis combatants.Post-war, America powered ahead with turbocharging's proliferation in racing at Indianapolis followed by wider use from the 1970s for passenger cars and racers, most notably Formula One's 1,500-horsepower projectiles.Volume 3, "Turbo triumphs on road and track, 1970s to 2020s," introduces the many and varied applications of boosting for petrol and diesel engines through to the present day.Why and how the 21st century sees sweeping conversion of both road and racing cars to forced induction for higher efficiency and the ultimate in road-burning performance.All told this mighty work contains over 3,500 rare and historic images of superchargers and turbochargers along with their designers and the sensational cars and aircraft that have carried their creations. Power Unleashed is a work of astonishing depth and detail. Greatly respected for his ability to communicate information while telling a compelling story, Karl Ludvigsen explores the global saga of supercharging and turbocharging. Complete with reader-friendly technical descriptions and magnificent illustrations, he introduces the fascinating individuals who bet their businesses on boosting. This is a landmark work in the histories of the automobile and airplane.
Missouri Railroads
Missouri Railroads: A Modern Crossroads 1921-2023 delves into the rich history of Missouri's railroads during their second century. From the roaring 1920s, when opulent "Limited" passenger trains crisscrossed the state, to the tumultuous times of the Great Depression and World War II, this book captures the essence of an era.As the postwar years unfolded, Missouri's railroads faced realignments and challenges. The mid-twentieth century witnessed shifts in routes, technologies, and passenger preferences. Against this backdrop, the book explores how the railroads adapted in the face of uncertainty. Stunning historical images--over 100 in color--breathe life into this transformative period and bring the story to the present day. Missouri Railroads goes beyond the history of a single state and its railroads to illustrate Missouri's vital role in shaping American railroading. These railroad companies mirrored national trends, yet each twist and turn carries a distinct local flavor. Authors Don L. Hofsommer and Carlos A. Schwantes weave a captivating narrative that celebrates Missouri's contribution to the broader American story.
