Summary "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. The first letter announces the son's promotion to general manager, mingling paternal pride with the practical challenges that come with such a position. Hine emphasizes the importance of adapting to modern societal expectations regarding the railway industry, urging his son to uphold principles of equality and individual responsibility in organization. Furthermore, he highlights the need for a balance of ideals and practical approaches in managing the dynamic demands of railway work, setting a tone for thoughtful exploration of railway management themes throughout the book.
