Summary "Letters from an Old Railway Official to His Son, a Division Superintendent" by Charles Delano Hine is an instructional guide written in the early 20th century. The text comprises a series of letters from a seasoned railway official to his son, who has recently been appointed as a division superintendent. The letters provide practical advice on railway administration, operational efficiency, and leadership within the context of the railway industry. The opening of the work begins with a heartfelt letter of congratulation from the father to his son, reflecting on the pride and responsibilities that come with the new position. The father emphasizes the importance of personal connections with employees and effective communication, offering pragmatic tips for handling various administrative challenges, such as telegram usage and maintaining safety standards in train operations. As the father shares his wisdom, he not only celebrates his son’s achievements but also prepares him for the complexities of his newfound role in managing a vital transportation system.
