This book presents an innovative approach to railway transportation, focusing on the advantages of a bicycle-based railway system that emphasizes lightness, speed, and efficiency. The publication details the principles of design and operation behind the Boynton Bicycle Railway, promoting its potential advantages in terms of cost and performance compared to traditional rail systems. In the book, the authors describe the unique design of the bicycle train cars, which are narrower and have a two-story structure, allowing them to carry more passengers while weighing significantly less than standard railway cars. The innovative use of materials like light steel and wood veneer is highlighted, along with the operational principles that permit higher speeds and reduced friction. Throughout the text, the authors discuss the economic benefits and safety improvements of the Boynton system, including its ability to operate efficiently on existing rail infrastructure, and they present evidence from trials that demonstrate its success in real-world applications. Overall, the book argues for the adoption of this novel system as a valuable advancement in railway transportation.
