Project Gutenberg 2009-05-02 Public domain in the USA. 148 Ignotus Langsam-Schnellzüge in Österreich Produced by Jana Srna and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Langsam-Schnellzüge in Österreich" by Ignotus is a commentary on the state of railway transportation in Austria, written during the early 20th century. This work, published in November 1907, serves as a critique of the operational inefficiencies within the Austrian State Railways, particularly focusing on the newly introduced "slow-fast trains" that paradoxically had to operate slowly, leading to numerous missed connections. The text delves into the bureaucratic and infrastructural challenges facing the railway system, suggesting a broader commentary on the transportation policies of the time. The book outlines the consequences of the newly imposed slow-speed regulations on the Austrian railway system, which were supposedly enacted to address safety concerns due to the deteriorating condition of the tracks. Ignotus highlights how this decision not only disrupted service schedules but also exacerbated existing inefficiencies, causing significant delays in both passenger and freight transport. The author articulates frustrations from both the public and the railroad companies regarding the disorganization and mismanagement within the state railway administration, ultimately implying the need for reforms and possibly government intervention to restore order to the railway operations. Through its examination of the railway system, the book touches on themes of bureaucracy, public safety, and the complexities of state-run industries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
