Published in 1837, the book is the world's first practical text on railway engineering and features detailed plans for viaducts, tunnels, and bridges. It also examines the methods used to manage the project's diverse workforce and the experiments conducted to optimize the line's speed and efficiency. Written by the author Robert Stephenson, the book offers a rare glimpse into the challenges and innovations of early railway construction and is considered one of the foundational texts in railway engineering. It remains a relevant guide to the science of building and maintaining railways and provides valuable perspectives on one of the most significant engineering achievements of the 19th century.
