Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Right-of-Way Surveying This little book outlines a modern system of right-of-way survey ing, leveling, and mapping. Though the system as a whole applies particularly to railroads, the adjustment diagram feature will be found useful in the special adjustment of streets, canals, highways, and old boundary lines. It is hoped the suggestions here given will save time in the organization and prosecution of the work and above all will lead to accurate and permanent results. The method of survey herein described must not be confused with the common one of using the outside head of rail as a base line for locating the various structural features. Vast sums of money have been spent for such surveys, leaving no permanent field reference to lines run and recording sets of maps without any measurements whatever. Many of them have been ordered under the directing influence of rushing some kind of survey through as quickly as possible for pur poses of reconstruction hence no criticism is here offered. But there is no excuse whatever for property surveys not referable to fixed base lines, whether they result in the scale maps above referred to or in the so-called very complete maps, showing instrument lines run, angles and measurements, direct from the field book. The former class of maps is of little practical value, while the latter contains a mass of data not directly available.

This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practice of Railway Surveying and Permanent Way Work The authors gained their experience 'as members of the stafis of two leading English Railways, and also when carrying out railway work abroad. The knowledge thus acquired of the best English practice, as well as of the methods adopted in the construction of economic railways in unexplored and undeveloped countries, has enabled them to deal with the subject from the practical point of view. Many of the methods described are original; some are traditional among Railway Engineers and some are those adopted 'by American Engineers, acquaintance with which is necessary for the more complete study of the subject. Little or none of the matter included under Permanent Way has previously appeared in print, and it is hoped that this will be of much assistance to the young permanent way engineer. The authors are indebted to Mr. W. H. Shortt for matter from his paper Practical Method for the Improvement of Existing Railway Curves, read at the Institution of Civil Engineers on January 12th, 1909, and to Mr. James Glover for the mathematical treatment of Transition Curves from his paper Transition Curves for Railways in the Minutes of Proceedings of the Inst.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Regulations Concerning Railroad Right of Way: Over the Public Lands; Approved November 4, 1898 The following is a copy of an act of Congress approved March granting to railroads the right of way through the public lands of the United States: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the right of way through the public lands of the United States is hereby granted to any railroad company duly organized under the laws of any State or Territory, except the District of Columbia, or by the Congress of the United States, which shall have filed with the Secretary of the Interior a copy of its articles of incorporation, and due proofs of its organization under the same, to the extent of one hundred feet on each side of the central line of said road; also the right to take, from the public lands adjacent to the line of said road, material, earth, stone, and timber necessary for the construction of said railroad; also, ground adjacent to such right of way for station buildings, depots, machine shops, side tracks, turn-outs, and water stations, not to exceed in amount twenty acres for each station, to the ex tent of one station for each ten miles of its road. Sec. 2. That any railroad company whose right of way, or whose track or roadbed upon such right of way, passes through any canyon, pass, or defile, shall not pre vent any other railroad company from the use and occupancy of said canyon, pass, or defile, for the purposes of its road, in common with the road first located, or the crossing of other railroads at grade. And the location of such right of way through any canyon, pass, or defile shall not cause the disuse of any wagon or other public highway now located therein, nor prevent the location through the same of any such wagon road or highway where such road or highway may be necessary for the public accommodation; and where any change in the location of such wagon road is neces sary to permit the passage of such railroad through any canyon, pass, or defile, said railroad company shall, before entering upon the ground occupied by such wagon road, cause the same to be reconstructed at its own expense in the most favorable location, and in as perfect a manner as the original road: Provided, That such ex penses shall be equitably divided between any number of railroad companies occupy ing and using the same canyon, pass, or defile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Railway Surveying and Levelling: In Which the Author Has Endeavoured to Simplify the Most Approved Methods Now Adopted by Surveyors This instrument has passed through many im provements, and has now become, for angular work, the most useful. A description of it is rendered almost unnecessary, from our acquaintance with it, through the means of the numerous publi cations extant. A few words explanatory, sufficient for our Work, may be necessary, but its various improvements and many principles of construction, render it impossible to give more than a general idea. It consists of two circular plates of brass, horizontally placed on a tripod, having also a ver tical arc, or semicircle of brass. These plates and the are are furnished with spirit - levels and screws, by which means the instrument is brought to a level with the surface on which the tripod rests. On the vertical arc is placed a telescope, in the focus end of which are fixed, in some, two threads of silk, or hair, intersecting each other diagonally X or at.

Download or read book Handbook of Street Railroad Location Classic Reprint written by John P. Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Street-Railroad Location Tms book is designed to present to the student and engineer that part of the subject of street-railroad construction which is to be performed by the civil, rather than by the electrical engineer. It therefore includes, besides the trigonometrical problems pertaining to railroad curves, the general principles governing the choice of site, grades and curves. It is assumed that every one using the book will be familiar with the prac tice of land surveying and with the manipulation of surveying instruments, and no space is given to these subjects. The arrangement is believed to be that which gives the best result in the classroom, while the form and size are convenient for use in the field. Every principle is illustrated by the solu tion of a numerical example, and at the end of each article several problems are proposed to test the proficiency of the student.
