Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and work of George Ward Blodgett, an engineer and lecturer who played a significant role in the development of railroad technology in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author traces Blodgett's career from his early work on the Boston and Albany Railroad to his later contributions to the field of electrical signaling. Along the way, the book provides insights into the broader history of railroading and the challenges faced by engineers during this period of rapid technological change. Of particular note is Blodgett's work on the development of automatic block signals, which greatly improved the safety and efficiency of railroad operations. The book also sheds light on Blodgett's personal life and values, including his deep religious faith and commitment to education. Ultimately, this book offers a valuable perspective on the life and work of a pioneering engineer whose contributions helped shape the modern railroad system.
