"Letters from an Old Railway Official. Second Series: To His Son, a General Manager" by Charles Delano Hine is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. The letters are intended as guidance and reflections on railway management, conveyed from a seasoned railway official to his son, who has recently assumed the role of general manager. The book delves into challenges faced in railway organization and administration, discussing subjects like public relations, operational efficiency, and the evolving nature of railway systems. The opening of this work introduces readers to the author’s extensive background in railway operations and management, establishing his credibility.
