Railways transportation is the means of transfer of passengers and goods using railway systems. It is the safest mode of transit. A railways system is a complex form of engineering. Each system has two major components- the rolling stock or locomotives, and the rail tracks along with their supporting structures and ancillary buildings. Railway signalling is an essential aspect of railway transportation. Railway transportation engineering is responsible for the design, construction and operation of rail transport systems. It encompasses the design and implementation of train control systems, railway systems engineering, control and railway engineering, etc. Efficient railway transportation ensures the continuation of functional supply chain and population mobility. Railway reliability is threatened by an aging infrastructure, security threats, increasing freight costs and inadequate capacity, research in railways transportation systems and engineering is most pertinent in today's scenario. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different railway transportation systems, and their engineering. It covers in detail some existing theories and innovative concepts revolving around railway transportation. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Lene Bornemann, der er redaktør på mine 13 erindringsbøger, viste mig et luftfoto af et husmandsted med nyopførte sommerhuse i bagrunden, og sagde: ”Vil du skrive historien om områdets udvikling?” At samle stof til en bog af denne karakter er umuligt, hvis ikke imødekomne mennesker ønsker at bidrage med egne oplevelser og livshistorier. Jeg er blevet mødt med åbenhed og interesse hos den nuværende ejer af husmandsstedet og de beboere i sommerhusene, som jeg har kontaktet. Rundt omkring er mine spørgsmål ikke blot blevet besvaret, de har dannet udgangspunkt for grundige forklaringer og opklaringer af ubesvarede spørgsmål. Der viste sig at være mere dokumentation i folks skuffer og fotoalbum. Henslumrede erindringer kom frem i lyset. Det er nu samlet her til en erindring om Ingeborg og Jakob i husmandsstedet på Østerlyng. De var tilfredse med deres liv som hårdt arbejdende husmandspar med mange børn. Men solgte marken, da der var mulighed for det, og da københavnerne blev interesseret i at købe jord til deres ferieliv i deres fritidshuse.
