Draft Regulation on the Train Traffic on Russian Railways (Steam Locomotives’ Railways) Open for Public Use (1892)

Abstract

This issue reprints extracts from the preliminary draft of one of the core regulations on railway operations which was the regulation on train traffic. It was compiled more than 130 years ago. Probably, the entire document is less of interest regarding engineering aspects but is of much greater interest as far as jobs are concerned or, in modern terms, human resources. Many aspects are quite relevant regardless the historical gap. We can quote requirement addressed to the employees when they work at the positions that combine two qualifications to possess all the skills necessary for each of them.
Publication keeps intact as much as possible the style, punctuation and lexis of the time.
