Hi Carolyn, several years ago there has been a publication on this topic fort he area oft he Austro-Hungarian Empire (1825-1859) - in german: KÖSTER, Burkhard: Militär und Eisenbahn in der Habsburgermonarchie 1825-1859 http://books.google.at/books/about/Milit%C3%A4r_und_Eisenbahn_in_der_Habsburger.html?id=_FR0m-Axb1MC&redir_esc=y Here: http://www.beck-shop.de/Koester-Militaer-Eisenbahn-Habsburgermonarchie-1825-1859/productview.aspx?product=242548 you find a link named 'Blick ins Buch' where you can also can see the content of the book. Chapter II.4 is dedicated to 'early remarks in European countries on the use of railways by military', and, when I remember correct, in chapter IV.2 and V. there are also some remarks on comparisons with the European and US-American situation at that time. Kind regards, Guenter Von: All aspects of railways, past, present and future. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Im Auftrag von e-mail carolyn.webmail Gesendet: Mittwoch, 05.

It seems several of the early railway managers (Mark Huish comes to mind) had military backgrounds, and some of the procedures and management techniques of the first mainline railway companies had precedents in the armed forces; I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this, but have not yet run across any writing on the subject; I'd very much appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of any. Many thanks in advance--Carolyn ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, Praterstern 3, 1020 Wien FN 71396w HG Wien | DVR 0063533 | UID ATU 16210507 Diese Nachricht könnte vertrauliche Informationen enthalten.
