    (Reviews of 4th edition)
    If you are interested in learning about the role of the railway in the transport system as well as the technical and nancial aspects of
    its business, in Professor Prollidis book you will nd accurate, well-supported answers to your questions, including a clear
    explanation of the contribution that this mode of transport could make to the conservation of the environment.
    Andres Lpez Pita, Catalonia Polytechnic University, Spain
    Currently, rail engineers are under enormous pressures simultaneously to improve quality of service, increase safety and yet
    simultaneously cut costs. They need to understand not just engineering, but also management, economics, government policy and
    legislation. This text can be strongly recommended for the excellent coverage it provides on all these issues, drawing on worldwide
    experience.
    Chris Nash, University of Leeds, UK
    (Review of 3rd edition)
    ...this amazingly comprehensive book far surpasses the wildest dreams of the most devoted trainspotter and railway buff, while
    seriously offering a new scientic approach to the management and engineering aspects of railwaysthe author is an internationally
    recognized authority on track mechanics and transport economics, a fact clearly reected in the wide range of world examples and
    references which make the book such a valuable source of reference, guidance, planning and implementationthe text is
    considerably enhanced throughout by an outstanding wealth of illustrationsthe subject range and depth is amazingthe language
    is lively and the presentation and layout make reading easy for student assimilation and fast reference.
    The RoSPA Occupational Safety & Health Journal
    This book aims to cover the need for a new scientic approach for railways
    and is useful for railway managers, economists and engineers, consulting
    economists and engineers, students of schools of engineering, transportation,
    economics, and management. The book is divided into three parts, which
    deal successively with management, track, rolling stock, and environment
    and safety. Each chapter contains the necessary theoretical analysis of the
    phenomena studied, the recommended solutions, applications, charts and
    design of the specic railway component. In this way, both the requirement
    for a theoretical analysis is met, and the need of the railway manager and
    engineer for tables, nomographs, regulations, etc. is satised.
