Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the feasibility of a proposed railway line between Liverpool and Manchester, analyzing its potential costs, construction challenges, and operational expenses. The author, a prominent civil engineer, meticulously assesses earthworks, embankments, and bridges along the proposed route, estimating the immense quantity of excavation required and the corresponding need for spoil banks. He also considers the impact of gradients and inclines on locomotive power, concluding that the proposed line would require considerably more energy to operate than the existing Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Furthermore, the author highlights the substantial land acquisition costs and the need for numerous bridges, viaducts, and other structures, emphasizing the escalating expenses associated with such a project. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the proposed railway line, weighing its potential benefits against the significant financial and engineering challenges involved in its construction and operation.
