Abstract:
J. H. Wilkins, an African American railroad porter for the Pullman Company, was killed while on duty in April 1930. How he met his death has never been fully determined, but the Pullman Company's investigation file exposes the dangerous and racialized emotional terrain that porters navigated daily on their journeys across the US. By examining Wilkins's death, and the work of Pullman porters more broadly, this article makes the case that white control of black emotions in occupational and public spaces was a significant characteristic of the Jim Crow era, and demands further scholarly attention.

Abstract:
Abstract Background At the end of the nineteenth century, Denver was an important regional center. It had grown from a mining town of less than five thousand residents in 1870 to a railroad hub with more than thirty-five thousand inhabitants in 1880, making it the largest settlement between Kansas City and the West Coast. Nine different railroads served the city, with lines extending eastward to Chicago, southward to Texas and New Mexico, and westward to the Pacific. Over the next decade Denver’s population tripled, surpassing one hundred thousand by 1890. Boosters and local politicians knew that Denver’s success would be short-lived if they failed to invest in the future. The cycle of boom and bust was all too familiar in nineteenth-century America, as Denver experienced firsthand when President Grover Cleveland repealed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893. In the resulting Silver Crash, 400 nearby mines closed, twelve local banks went under, and 50,000 Denver-area workers were unemployed.

Abstract:
As market forces drive up the gross weight on rail, railroads continue moving toward increased usage of heavy axle load (HAL) equipment, namely 286,000 lb and 315,000 lb GWR vehicles that provide more competitive and efficient transportation. According to the AAR's Universal Machine Language Equipment Register (UMLER) database, since 1995, at least 70% of vehicles built each year were HAL vehicles. 2005 had 49,923 more HAL vehicles running on the North America railroad system than the previous year. This practice can result in significant overall savings in operating costs. However, HAL equipment can also accelerate wear and damage to the railroad infrastructure and have a greater potential for truck warping and vehicle dynamics problems. Thus, keeping rolling stock and track safe while ramping up the usage of HAL equipment presents a significant challenge. Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) SuperSites, developed by Salient Systems Inc. (SSI), provide real time monitoring and alarming on excessive axle loads and vehicle dynamics. SuperSites are important tools in the scientific study of HAL vehicles and the monitoring of heavy haul operations. This paper provides a snapshot of results of studies conducted on Union Pacific (UP) HAL routes and demonstrates how HAL loads affect the rolling stock, the track, and the wheel/rail interaction. The heavier the load, the higher the impact of the defective wheels to the track; therefore, heavily loaded vehicle routes (such as the coal route from the Powder River Basin to Kansas City and the primary intermodal route from Los Angeles to El Paso) need to be monitored more proactively to avoid track structural damage.
