At a time when the future of the internal combustion engine-powered motorcycle, if not the industry as a whole, seems clouded, it may be appropriate to reflect on the importance of the two-wheeled vehicle as a cultural artefact – that is, its importance in the creation of an identity and a self-image for its owner and rider. This article examines this subject through the examples of three figures for whom the motorcycle was crucial in the construction of their identity and the fame they achieved, in real life and in literary representation – the poet Thom Gunn, the psychologist Oliver Sacks, and the war hero T. E. Lawrence. For all three the motorcycle was a preferred mode of transport. But it was more than that. It was a marker of the identity they chose to create for themselves, something – as each said – that an automobile could never be.
当内燃机驱动的摩托车的未来,如果不是整个行业,似乎是阴云笼罩的时候,也许应该反思一下两轮汽车作为一种文化文物的重要性——也就是说,它在为车主和骑手创造身份和自我形象方面的重要性。这篇文章通过三个人物的例子来研究这个问题,在现实生活和文学表现中,摩托车对他们的身份和名声的构建至关重要——诗人Thom Gunn,心理学家Oliver Sacks和战争英雄T. E. Lawrence。对于这三个人来说,摩托车是首选的交通工具。但不止于此。这是他们选择为自己创造的身份的标志,正如每个人所说,汽车永远无法做到的。

Ontologies on collision course: Collaborative mobility v. managerial transport in the contemporary history of intelligent transport systems 碰撞过程中的本体论:智能交通系统当代历史中的协同移动与管理运输

Is mobility ontologically different than transport? This essay contributes to this contentious question by looking at the frictions and failures of merging intelligent transport systems (ITS) with mobile information and communication technologies (mobile-ICT). Adopting a methodological approach from science and technology studies (STS), which focus on (political) ontologies, enables us to follow the ordering practices and constituent elements participating in the enactment of multiple ontologies. The dissonance between ITS and mobile-ICT can thus be regarded as the enactment of two ontologies, one managerial and one collaborative. The tensions between these traditions enable us to articulate the differing institutions and sensibilities that characterise a managerial and a collaborative ontology. Thus, how we approach transport can be understood either as under the spell of managerial functionality or as collaboratively achieved pending on “what is” transport. By looking at frictions when defining ITS, we can identify two ontologies that have existed within the history of transport, traffic and mobility.
机动性在本体论上与运输不同吗?本文通过研究智能交通系统(ITS)与移动信息和通信技术(mobile- ict)合并的摩擦和失败,为这一有争议的问题做出了贡献。采用科学技术研究(STS)的方法论方法,重点关注(政治)本体论,使我们能够遵循参与多个本体论制定的排序实践和组成要素。因此,ITS和移动信息通信技术之间的不协调可以被视为两个本体的制定,一个是管理本体,一个是协作本体。这些传统之间的紧张关系使我们能够阐明不同的制度和敏感性,这些特征是管理本体和协作本体。因此,我们如何处理运输可以被理解为在管理功能的咒语下,或者被理解为取决于“什么是”运输的协作实现。在定义智能交通系统时,通过观察摩擦,我们可以确定交通历史中存在的两种本体,即交通和机动性。

This Special Issue fills significant gaps in both historiography and the social sciences concerning high-speed ground transport in the United States, specifically with regard to the political, economic, and corporate origins of the High-Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965 (hereafter, HSGT Act). This important legislation aimed to develop America’s first very high-speed trains on the Northeast Corridor (hereafter, NEC), thereby to attenuate congestion from excessive use of highways and at airports; and, second, to develop

sion in the main text. This is where we’re treated to Wheatley’s complaint that Bachmann refused his request to modify the 00 gauge tooling of one of their wagons to accurately replicate the hearse van that carried Edith Cavell as “not worthwhile”. To be honest, I can see where Bachmann were coming from here. While a section on modelling is always welcome (writing as a railway modeller myself), this is a chapter that really belongs in an appendix. I’ll add, though, that the recent news that Hornby have produced an accurate model of Winston Churchill’s hearse van will probably be well received by those with an interest in modelling an accurate funeral train. We then have a chapter on “quirks and curiosities” followed by an overview of the end of funeral trains on the mainline railways and their use on the preserved railways. The latter suffers from feeling like a large number of obituaries that don’t really add too much to the main narrative and got somewhat dispiriting to read at points. Ultimately, Final Journey is something I would recommend. It’s a fascinating book packed with content that you’ll struggle to find elsewhere at a very reasonable price. It describes itself as not an academic book, but the depth of research here is very impressive, with good reference to a wide range of primary and secondary sources. However, it is also a book that could have benefitted from some stronger editing and a shorter length. While I can’t fault Wheatley’s enthusiasm, at points the book loses focus on funeral trains themselves by providing a lot of tangential detail. Despite this, it’s a book that’s well worth a spot on your bookshelf; you won’t find something like it anywhere else.
在正文中。这是惠特利的抱怨,巴赫曼拒绝了他的要求,即修改他们的一辆货车的00号工具,以准确地复制载有伊迪丝·卡维尔的灵车,因为“不值得”。说实话,我知道巴赫曼是怎么想的。虽然关于建模的部分总是受欢迎的(我自己作为铁路建模师写作),但这是一个真正属于附录的章节。不过,我要补充一点,最近有消息称,霍恩比已经制作出了温斯顿·丘吉尔灵车的精确模型,这可能会受到那些对制作精确葬礼列车模型感兴趣的人的欢迎。然后,我们有一章是关于“怪癖和好奇心”的,接着是对主线铁路上葬礼列车的终结以及它们在保存完好的铁路上的使用的概述。后者的缺点是感觉像大量的讣告,并没有真正为主要叙述增添太多内容,而且有时读起来有些令人沮丧。最后,《Final Journey》是我推荐的游戏。这是一本引人入胜的书,内容丰富,你很难在其他地方以非常合理的价格找到。它自称不是一本学术书籍,但这里的研究深度令人印象深刻,并参考了广泛的一手和二手资料。然而,这本书也可以从一些更强的编辑和更短的篇幅中受益。虽然我不能挑剔惠特利的热情,但书中有些地方由于提供了许多切题的细节而失去了对葬礼列车本身的关注。尽管如此,这本书还是值得放在你书架上的一个位置;你在其他任何地方都找不到这样的东西。

Food for thought: Transport within the food supply chain 思考食品:食品供应链中的运输
Pub Date : 2022-04-11 DOI: 10.1177/00225266221083259
Thomas Spain, D. Turner
Recently Hayden and Zunino Singh wrote in the Journal of Transport History of the greater need to study food movement. Whilst accepting their general premise, we argue that they downplay the fact that the evolution of logistics and supply chains has received sparse attention in the historical literature. Using case studies of the domestic British milk trade (1919–c.1945) and international quail trade (c.1850–1914), we demonstrate how a concept originating in the study of modern supply chains – supply chain governance – can be illuminating. As a conceptual framework, this can facilitate the identification of key agents, institutions and goods movements within supply chains, and the nature of the relationships between them, whilst illuminating how change and development is shaped by regulation, economic cycles, consumer demand, and, of course, transport. The concept's application therefore presents a robust way to better understand the movement of goods in history.
最近,海登和祖尼诺·辛格在《运输史杂志》上写道,研究食物运动的必要性更大。在接受他们的一般前提的同时,我们认为他们淡化了物流和供应链的演变在历史文献中受到很少关注的事实。通过对英国国内牛奶贸易(1919年至1945年)和国际鹌鹑贸易(1850年至1914年)的案例研究,我们展示了源自现代供应链研究的一个概念——供应链治理——是如何具有启发性的。作为一个概念框架,这有助于识别供应链中的关键代理人、机构和货物流动,以及它们之间关系的本质,同时阐明变化和发展是如何受到监管、经济周期、消费者需求,当然还有运输的影响。因此,这一概念的应用为更好地理解历史上的货物流动提供了一种强有力的方法。

Getting Off Track: the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project in an International Context 偏离轨道:国际背景下的东北走廊改善工程
Pub Date : 2022-04-07 DOI: 10.1177/00225266221083450

The Northeast Corridor Improvement Project aimed to upgrade the most important passenger route in the country so that it could support high-speed trains. By the early 1970s, North America's rail network had been in decline for decades. However, the energy crisis and strong congressional support prompted a policy of reinvestment. Execution of the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project was plagued with problems owing to both lack of experience delivering major rail projects and a counter-productive, complex administrative structure resulting from conflicts between Congress and the White House. The project's original scope, which was necessary to achieve high-speed operations, was reduced over time as budgetary limits were exceeded. Compared to the coeval Paris–Lyon high-speed rail project, Northeast Corridor Improvement Project history demonstrates the importance of continuous infrastructure investment to maintain the expertise necessary to effectively deliver major capital projects.
东北走廊改善项目旨在升级该国最重要的客运线路,使其能够支持高速列车。到20世纪70年代初,北美的铁路网已经衰落了几十年。然而,能源危机和国会的大力支持促成了再投资政策。由于缺乏大型铁路项目的经验,以及国会和白宫之间的矛盾导致的适得其反的复杂行政结构,东北走廊改善项目的执行受到了困扰。该项目的最初范围是实现高速运营所必需的,但随着时间的推移,由于超出了预算限制,该范围逐渐缩小。与同时期的巴黎-里昂高铁项目相比,东北走廊改善项目的历史表明,持续的基础设施投资对于保持有效交付重大资本项目所需的专业知识至关重要。

Photography and transport history: a speculative approach to a theoretical framework 摄影与运输史:一个理论框架的思辨方法

Photography has been recording different aspects of human activity since the early nineteenth century. Additional innovations since then have rendered it less expensive, less cumbersome and more accessible to users. Today, the universe of photographs is immense. In this paper, I offer a theoretical approach to the use of photography in mobility and transport history. I argue that photography is much more than a mere illustrative resource and that it can be used as a primary source that provides visual materiality to aspects of transportation in the past (subjects, objects and landscapes), which can complement information found in written sources. Moreover, I speculate that photography may have a double role: as a vehicle that transports observers to faraway locations and ideas and landscapes back to observers; and as a tool for territorial appropriation of peripheral territories by core regions.
自19世纪初以来,摄影一直在记录人类活动的各个方面。从那时起,更多的创新使得它更便宜、更方便、更方便。今天,照片的世界是巨大的。在本文中,我提供了一种理论方法来使用摄影在移动和运输的历史。我认为摄影不仅仅是一种说明性的资源,它可以作为一种主要的来源,为过去的交通运输(主题、物体和风景)提供视觉材料,这可以补充书面资料中的信息。此外,我推测摄影可能具有双重作用:作为一种工具,将观察者运送到遥远的地方,将思想和风景送回观察者;作为核心区占有外围领土的工具。

to their community of settlement, and to incarcerate any who refused to travel or who illegally returned. One of the many strengths of the book is the way in which it stresses the diversity of the transient population in early America, and chapter four provides a valuable account of the ways in which both fugitive slaves and transient freed slaves were dealt with by the authorities, set within the context of debates about race and slavery at the time. Many transients were imprisoned under the vagrancy laws, and chapter six describes the penal policies of the period and compares the treatment of transients with other criminals that were dealt with by the judicial system. Unsurprisingly, disease was rife among those who lived much of their life on the road, and transients were frequently blamed for spreading infectious disease within the communities they passed through. They were especially targeted during cholera epidemics with the homeless and other transients suffering disproportionately. A final concluding chapter briefly raises some broader issues, including comparison of the management of transients in America with systems in other countries, and discussion of the role of the state within society. It is a shame that some of these issues were not more fully developed. This is a good book that is very well researched (there are some 46 pages of footnotes at the end of the volume), and which tackles a difficult and often neglected topic and time period. It will provide an important text on transiency and the ways in which it was managed by authorities in the years after American independence. Of course, the population discussed in this volume were not the only people who travelled frequently in America. Rates of mobility would have been high for much of the population. What the book does do is to explain how and why one particular subset of those who travelled were singled out and, in many cases, criminalised by the authorities of the time.
他们定居的社区,并监禁任何拒绝旅行或非法返回的人。这本书的优点之一是它强调了早期美国流动人口的多样性,第四章提供了一个有价值的描述,描述了逃亡奴隶和流动的自由奴隶是如何被当局处理的,背景是当时关于种族和奴隶制的辩论。许多流民在流浪法下被监禁,第六章描述了这一时期的刑事政策,并将流民与司法系统处理的其他罪犯的待遇进行了比较。不出所料,疾病在那些大部分时间生活在路上的人中间很普遍,而过路者经常被指责在他们经过的社区内传播传染病。在霍乱流行期间,他们尤其成为攻击目标,无家可归者和其他过路者遭受的苦难尤为严重。最后一章简要地提出了一些更广泛的问题,包括比较美国与其他国家的临时管理制度,以及讨论国家在社会中的作用。遗憾的是,其中一些问题没有得到更充分的讨论。这是一本好书,研究得非常透彻(卷尾有大约46页的脚注),它处理了一个困难的、经常被忽视的主题和时期。它将提供一个重要的文本,在美国独立后的几年里,它是由当局管理的。当然,这本书中讨论的人口并不是唯一经常在美国旅行的人。大部分人口的流动性都很高。这本书所要做的是解释那些旅行者中的一个特定群体是如何以及为什么被挑出来的,并且在许多情况下,被当时的当局定为犯罪。

Unsurprisingly, disease was rife among those who lived much of their life on the road, and transients were frequently blamed for spreading infectious disease within the communities they passed through. They were especially targeted during cholera epidemics with the homeless and other transients suffering disproportionately. A final concluding chapter briefly raises some broader issues, including comparison of the management of transients in America with systems in other countries, and discussion of the role of the state within society. It is a shame that some of these issues were not more fully developed. This is a good book that is very well researched (there are some 46 pages of footnotes at the end of the volume), and which tackles a difficult and often neglected topic and time period. It will provide an important text on transiency and the ways in which it was managed by authorities in the years after American independence. Of course, the population discussed in this volume were not the only people who travelled frequently in America. Rates of mobility would have been high for much of the population. What the book does do is to explain how and why one particular subset of those who travelled were singled out and, in many cases, criminalised by the authorities of the time.","PeriodicalId":336494,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Transport History","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121275487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the Metroliner passenger rail trains manufactured by the Budd Company in the 1960s and 1970s. I show that while transportation companies and the government facilitated the development of a high(er) speed rail line and trains, this procurement process was not sufficient for sustaining Budd as a national rail producer. This case study is based on government documents, interviews, news reports, published studies and archival work. The limits to the Metroliner program as industrial policy were based on: (a) company innovative lags; (b) weakness in Budd's industrial profile and endogenous capacities; (c) failures in systems integration and (d) the contradictions of an indirect industrial policy, where companies gain capacities from the state indirectly or insufficiently.
本研究考察了Budd公司在20世纪60年代和70年代制造的Metroliner客运列车。我指出,虽然运输公司和政府促进了高速铁路线和列车的发展,但这种采购过程不足以维持Budd作为国家铁路生产商的地位。本案例研究基于政府文件、访谈、新闻报道、已发表的研究和档案工作。地铁列车计划作为产业政策的局限性是基于:(a)公司创新滞后;(b) Budd的工业概况和内生能力薄弱;(c)系统集成的失败和(d)间接产业政策的矛盾,公司间接或不充分地从国家获得能力。
