Book Description
Excerpt from Railway Construction The construction and maintenance of a railway calls for the application of so many branches of engineering that several volumes would be required to do ample justice to a subject so comprehensive and ever-extending. To avoid attempting so wide a range, the object of the following pages has been to describe briefly some of the recognized leading features which regulate railway construction, and to assist the explanation with sketches of works selected from actual practice. Where the number of existing good examples is legion, it is somewhat difficult to make a choice for illustration, and the course adopted has been to select such samples of structures as appear best to elucidate in a simple manner the different types of work under consideration. In the drawings and diagrams many important minor details are necessarily omitted, partly to avoid complexity, but principally to leave more prominent the leading features of the particular piece of work referred to in the description. Some of the sketches of the large span bridges and large span roofs are only shown in outline; but, as their principal dimensions are given, a general idea can be obtained of their actual proportions. No allusion is made to the requisite strengths of the various structures described, nor to the necessary dimensions of the materials used in their construction, as this would necessitate the introduction of a vast amount of mathematical formulae which does not come under the province of the object in view, and which the engineer has already at command from his training and works of reference.

Book Description
Excerpt from Railroad Construction This book had its beginning in some notes on railroad con struction which were first prepared about twenty-five years ago and were issued in mimeograph form for the use of students in the College of Civil Engineering at Cornell University. These notes have required frequent revision in order to keep them abreast of ever changing practice, but so much has been done in the last few years in the direction of standardizing construction that the time now seems opportune for enlarging them into a book, for general use. The discussions in engineering associations and in the technical papers have done much to stimulate interest and develop effort. They have also tended to standardize practice by suggesting to each engineer the adoption of the good features of the standards of other railroads, which were improvements upon and applicable to his own road. The method adopted by the American Railway Engineering Association of assigning topics to committees for investigation and report, the report to be presented at the annual convention for general discussion, has accomplished much in this direction. In this work an attempt has been made to present to the reader glimpses of the field and to impress upon him something of the spirit of the work.

Excerpt from Light Railway Construction This work is intended as a book of reference for the use of engineers in practice and their pupils and assistants. The Author, having himself experienced the want of a practical office manual, has endeavoured to provide a text-book which, though primarily intended for those engaged in constructing light railways, may be more or less helpful to all who are employed on public works, whatever may be their nature.

Book Description
Excerpt from Railway Construction, Vol. 1: From the Setting Out of the Centre Line to the Completion of the Works Tan title of this work will, I trust, sufficiently explain the object I have had in writing the following pages. They are the result, as regards both field and office work, of various notes, observations, and rules made and applied during a practice of many years in carrying out railway works.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Railroad: With Remarks on American Railway Construction and Management In order, however, to arrive at a fair estimate of the total cost, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the company, pursuing in this respect an unusual, but, as the Authors submit, a very wise course, long since closed the capital account for the main line, and that, exclusive of ordinary maintenance and repairs, there has been expended, out of revenue, during the years 1855 to 1873 inclusive, upon permanent improvements and works of con struction, including the substitution of iron for wood in bridges, and of steel for iron rails, no less a sum than or per mile, bringing the cost up to per mile of single line. If, in the absence of separate accounts, there be deducted for the branches, 82 miles at the average cost of American rail roads, viz., per mile, the cost of the main line will be found to be about per mile of double line.

Book Description
Excerpt from Railway Construction: Second Series, Illustrated With 91 Plates of Railways Executed, With Scales in French and English; Also Railways in the East and All High Thermometrical RegionsThe attempt is not made without considerable reluctance on the part of the writer, from his having an earnest feeling that there are many whose pens would be much more able to do justice to a task of which he fully appreciates the difficulty; but having been persuaded to undertake it, he can only endeavour to compensate for want of ability by being the more assiduous in his thoughts, by the most complete truthfulness, and the sincerity of his desire to render some assistance to those who, year after year, may have to follow in the path which he has himself gone over before, where they will find their energies very fairly tested, many anxieties to bear and difficulties to contend against, in order to do that justice to their responsibilities which every true engi neer is determined to perform at any cost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Underground Railway Construction Company: 120 Broadway, New-York Gentlemen. The underground railway construction company was organized for the purpose of building Subway, Elevated or Surface Railways in the city of new-york. It has taken the contract to construct the subway railways of the new-york District Railway. The Broadway division will be constructed from the bowling-green. Thence up Broadway to Union Square, to its junction with the Fourteenth street division, thence up Broadway to Madison Square, to the junction of its east and west divisions, and thence by way of Madison Avenue, to and under the Harlem River, to a junction with the main lines of railway which enter new-york from the north and east. The Fourteenth street and Twenty-third street divisions will commence at the west side of Ninth Avenue, and the east side of Second Avenue, respectively, thence running to the junction at Union and Madison Squares. The western division will commence at Madison Square, and follow the line of Broadway to Fifty-ninth street at Eighth Avenue, about thirteen miles in all. It also proposes to construct the railways of the new-york Under ground Railway Company and the Broadway Underground Connecting Rail way Company.
