Download or read book The Pennsylvania Railroad Volume 1 written by Albert J. Churella and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-10-29 with total page 970 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do not think of the Pennsylvania Railroad as a business enterprise," Forbes magazine informed its readers in May 1936. "Think of it as a nation." At the end of the nineteenth century, the Pennsylvania Railroad was the largest privately owned business corporation in the world. In 1914, the PRR employed more than two hundred thousand people—more than double the number of soldiers in the United States Army. As the self-proclaimed "Standard Railroad of the World," this colossal corporate body underwrote American industrial expansion and shaped the economic, political, and social environment of the United States. In turn, the PRR was fundamentally shaped by the American landscape, adapting to geography as well as shifts in competitive economics and public policy. Albert J. Churella's masterful account, certain to become the authoritative history of the Pennsylvania Railroad, illuminates broad themes in American history, from the development of managerial practices and labor relations to the relationship between business and government to advances in technology and transportation. Churella situates exhaustive archival research on the Pennsylvania Railroad within the social, economic, and technological changes of nineteenth- and twentieth-century America, chronicling the epic history of the PRR intertwined with that of a developing nation. This first volume opens with the development of the Main Line of Public Works, devised by Pennsylvanians in the 1820s to compete with the Erie Canal. Though a public rather than a private enterprise, the Main Line foreshadowed the establishment of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1846. Over the next decades, as the nation weathered the Civil War, industrial expansion, and labor unrest, the PRR expanded despite competition with rival railroads and disputes with such figures as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller. The dawn of the twentieth century brought a measure of stability to the railroad industry, enabling the creation of such architectural monuments as Pennsylvania Station in New York City. The volume closes at the threshold of American involvement in World War I, as the strategies that PRR executives had perfected in previous decades proved less effective at guiding the company through increasingly tumultuous economic and political waters.

Some of them passed from reconnaissances and preliminary surveys to the work of construction, ruling armies of men in wild camps which were constantly moving onward. They were responsible for the expenditure of fortunes. Their followers knew little other law than their word, and there were times, as in the early history of the Union Pacific, when no authority seemed to avail against the recklessness of life at the head of the rails.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railroad Engineering, Vol. 1: Instruction Paper A little study will show the frequent conflict of the above conditions. When a proposed location evidently combines the above interests advantageously, instead of bringing them into conflict, then there is no doubt as to the proper location, unless it affects unduly the adjacent location. The best engineering ability is a cheap investment when deciding on a location which requires a delicate balancing of the claims of several possible routes, each with its own combination of greater or less initial cost, greater or less operating expenses, and greater or less effect on the probable revenue of the road. Reconnoissance Surveys. 3. Essential Problem. From the above considerations it may readily be seen that the first survey to be made (called the reconnoissance survey) consists essentially of a broad examination of the country through which the road is expected to pass. Business considerations usually predetermine that the road is to connect certain termini and also pass through certain intermediate important towns or cities, but the problem consists in finding the best route between the predetermined points. When two consecutive predetermined points lie in the same valley or on the same bank of a river too large to be easily bridged, the location is self-evident. If the river is smaller, easily bridged, has sharp bends, with variable banks and important towns on either bank, it will usually require a close examination of each bank to determine where to cross if at all. When the two points are many miles apart, lie in different valleys, and are therefore separated by one or more summits, the selection of the best route becomes more and more complicated as the number of possible routes becomes greater. It is generally true, although not invariably, that a cross-country route which includes the lowest summits and the highest low points (such as river crossings) will give the best grades. Since the "ruling grade" is the most important physical consideration for the engineer, as will be developed later, the chief work of the reconnoissance survey (apart from considerations of probable traffic) is the determination of the elevations of summits and sags and the distance between them, together with the constructive character of the country.
