Summary: "TUBE, TRAIN, TRAM, AND CAR; or, Up-to-date Locomotion" by Arthur H. Beavan is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the burgeoning field of electrical transportation, focusing on various modes such as tube railways, trains, trams, and motor cars, aiming to present this topic in an accessible manner without overwhelming technical details. Beavan advocates for the transformative potential of electrical traction to alleviate urban overcrowding and enhance mobility. The beginning of the work provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in electrical locomotion, contrasting it with traditional steam methods. Beavan discusses historical perspectives on rail travel, the evolution of locomotives, and the emergence of electric railways, emphasizing their importance for societal progress. He highlights recent developments and challenges in electric transportation, references notable accidents, and presents statistical data demonstrating the popularity of trams during peak times. Additionally, the author speculates on the future of transportation, envisioning an electric-powered landscape designed to facilitate rapid transit and improved quality of life in cities.
