It was written as the railroad system exploded, and the need for a new approach to the teaching of engineers became apparent. The author, a railroad locating engineer, provides instruction for railroad engineers and students on how to conduct field work, topography, earthwork calculations, and more, in the construction of railroads. The book covers a broad range of topics including reconnaissance, preliminary surveys, and calculations for grades and curves with formulas and observations from the author's years of experience.
