Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the proposal to construct a new railroad line to replace the inclined planes on the Allegheny Portage Railroad. These inclined planes were a major obstacle to efficient and safe transportation in the region. By examining the engineering, surveying, and economic factors involved, the author presents several alternative routes that could be used to avoid the planes. The book delves into the complexities of railroad construction in mountainous terrain, encompassing gradient feasibility, tunnel construction, and resource allocation. The author considers the potential impact of the new line on the transportation of goods and people, analyzing the costs and benefits of each route. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with overcoming geographical barriers to transportation, making it a valuable resource for historians, engineers, and anyone interested in the development of railroads and transportation infrastructure. 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.…
