Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an extensive reference for planning, building, and maintaining rail lines. Written in the late 1800s, the author, a chief engineer, draws on decades of professional knowledge and experience.

The author takes a practical approach, beginning with selecting the most economical route for a line and exploring issues such as required cuts and fills, grading, and drainage. Bridge design, a major expense in rail development, is treated extensively. With numerous formulas and illustrations, the author shares calculations and rules of thumb relevant to bridge construction and the maintenance of existing ones. The book includes information on materials, such as cast and wrought iron, and discusses factors like the impact of wind pressure and the weight of locomotives. This comprehensive guide presents a detailed examination of railroad construction as it was understood at the turn of the 20th century.
