HOW EARLY ENGLISH RAILWAYS
WE'RE OPERATED.

For some years after the first intro
duction of railways in England their
owners did mo- work them, but were
content to receive toll for their use
from any persons who craed to avail,
themselves of the facilities offered by
the new and improved highways.
Among others the coal-owners Of Lan>
cashire ran their coal along the high,
ways i ntheir own trucks. drawn by
locomotives also belonging to them.
selves.
And for a considerable further period
after the railway companies had found
it desirable to undertake the convey.
ance. or haulage, of goods by their
own servants and rolling-stock, they
did not perform the services me
ed with their receipt and dispatch.
They neither collected. delivered, load.
ed, or unloaded the goods entrusted to
them for conveyance. These duties
we're left to the general carriers who
had hitherto performed similar duties
in connection with their business on
the high roads and canals. And it was
With these carriers that the public INT
traders dealt. and not directly with
the railway companies, as at present.
The railway companies erected
sheds in the large towns Tor usually
Just outside them) for the purpose or
loading and unloading, under cover,
the trucks of merchandise brought to
them. There were one or W short
sidings laid down in front of the sheds,
with a turntable and siding running
into the shed. These were let to the
carriers at an annual rent; in some
cases. however, the sheds were erected
by the carriers themselves on their
own property purchased alongside the
railway. e-4
1t was to these sheds hat all goods
to be forwarded were brought. The
carriers weighed the goods, invoiced
them, loaded the trucks, sheeted them,
and handed them over, at the doors OF
the shed, to the railway company for
conveyance or haulage. On the arri-
val of the trucks at their destination
the railway companies transferred
them to the carrier at the door of his
shed, and the unloading, carting, and
delivery were then performed entirely
by the carrier.-Arch R. Whitehead, in
