Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book bridges the gap between engineering and railroad operations, establishing a method for route selection, construction, and maintenance. It is written in clear, non-technical language, with an analytical approach. The author provides a thorough examination of transportation, emphasizing the evolution and distinctive features of the North American railway system. The book covers the fundamental considerations of railway projects, including traffic and revenue, and the economical construction and operation of railroads. Through a thematic deep-dive into train resistances and their costs, the author introduces principles for calculating velocity head and fluctuating speeds on grades. This establishes a nuanced understanding of grade resistances, and their impact on operability and investment. The author examines vertical curves, surveys, and the construction of essential structures such as bridges, culverts, and embankments. The book concludes with an insightful discussion of railway law, showcasing the legal framework guiding the powers and responsibilities of railway companies, and their relationship with the public. This book will be of great interest to engineers, students, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of railway engineering and its profound impact on the development of North America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
