Synopsis

Excerpt from The Design of Railway Location: A Study of the Physical and Economic Conditions That Control the Location of Railways in Order That Their Operation May Be at Maximum Safety and Efficiency

Probably the best approach to a study of The Design of Railway Location is an acquaintance with railroad growth of the past. Indeed, a thoroughgoing study of the history of railway development would be altogether profitable, but space will admit of only a very brief historical review of the subject in which an effort will be made, not only to relate the facts, but, so far as practicable, to point out those features which have had a marked influence on the railway situation of the present time.
