Book Description
Excerpt from Report of a Proposed Line of Railway From Plymouth, Devonport, and Stonehouse, to Exeter, Over the Forest of Dartmoor: With a Branch to Tavistock The down train would be worked in a similar manner; and if trains started from either terminus at the same time, they would always meet between the two great inclined planes, viz somewhere on the Forest of Dartmoor. By making this, the forest portion of the line, double, we should therefore obtain all the accommodation that could be required for the traffic, and avoid the possibility of collision that might arise if the line were single throughout its whole length. Indeed, such an arrangement of the line would admit of trains being started from either end every hour in the day; and I have therefore so estimated the works. I have calculated that the traffic would require eight trains a day in each direction, for which nine locomotives would be necessary; and allowing for reserve or relief engines, and an assistant engine for the Exeter end of the line, the locomotive establishment would perhaps amount to 14 engines.
