Synopsis
Excerpt from Line and Surface: A Practical Treatise on Laying Out and Maintaining the Alignment and Surface of Railroad Track
Still another and perhaps the most important of all in an economic sense is the fact that the speed of trains may be greatly increased on good track, as compared with bad - thus enabling the transpor tation of larger quantities of freight and more pas sengers with the same number of engines and cars. By far the greatest consideration of all is that of safety, which is, of course, enhanced by all track improvement. Therefore, inasmuch as an important part of the trackman's work is to reduce the friction and expense of moving traffic over the road, it is important for him to know and apply the principles necessary to good work.
