Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Field Practice of Railway Location The object of this book is to record the methods commonly used by American engineers in the west in the location of railroads built since the civil war. In the thirty years just passed, more miles of railroad have been located in the United States than ever before in the history of any country within the working years of a man's lifetime. Before these locating engineers shall have all passed away the writer believes that a statement of their methods should be made. Their aid and their criticism is now available. There will never be in this country another generation of locating engineers who will have had so much practical experience in railroad location. This experience and experimental education has cost much. It is due to the capital which has paid this cost, that the knowledge as shown in the methods of these men be not buried with them; and it is due to these locating engineers that they be given credit for that development of method and skill in producing results which their study and genius have wrought. No other class of American engineers has faced so much danger, privation and exposure. No other class or number of engineers has received so little credit at the hands of the public for their work. Who among these pioneers has ever written even a short paper on the subject, for the instruction of his fellow engineers? We probably have ten times the literature on rail section that we have on railroad location. Some years ago the writer tried to induce a locating engineer, who has, doubtless, more days of location work to his credit than any man living, to write a short but complete paper on the subject he had studied so long. He replied that he lacked the time; and "besides, could not talk as well as some of the members of the American Society of Civil Engineers could." The life of a locating engineer while engaged is too busy for writing; when disengaged, his past isolation largely unfits him for contact with his fellows. The transitmen have given us a little of the methods of the older locating men, but by far the greater part of what little has been written on railroad location has been from the pens of men working in one locality and never engaged over a wide region for a term of years on location. It seems logical to study general methods as a means towards solving local problems of wide divergence. The writer is not aware of any similar book on this subject.

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. C.e., Vol. Cxl. P. 161. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Practice: A Collection of Working Plans and Practical Details of Construction in the Public Works of the Most Celebrated Engineers This early impression on the author's mind was confirmed by the opinion of gentlemen the best qualified to decide on such a question, and it became conviction when he was assured by his intelligent publisher, that inquiries after such works were frequent, and the demand for information connected with them urgent. Satisfied, therefore, as to the paucity of such information, and the consequent value of any particulars descriptive of the minutiae of this most important branch of engineering, he could not hesitate as to the propriety of producing his Railway Practice, to which he now solicits the favourable notice of the reader.

Download or read book Field Manual for Railroad Engineers Classic Reprint written by J. C. Nagle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field-Manual for Railroad Engineers Nearly twenty years ago the first edition of this manual was issued. Except for minor corrections, and the addition Of Tables XXVIII and XXIX, in the second edition, less than two years later, no changes have since been made. For several years the author has had a general revision in contemplation, but other and more pressing calls have prevented this. As finally made, the revision covers more than was intended when it was begun, but falls short of what it should be, and has been done in a fragmentary manner. It is hoped, however, that the usefulness of the book has been increased. Considerable new matter has been added to Chapter V. In order to conform to present practice, formq have been derived for the conditions of straight frogs and switch points. Some engineers prefer the more approximate treatment, in which both switch-rails and frogs are assumed to be curved, and certainly the formulas are simpler and easier Of application. For those who prefer it, the Old method has been retained in large part. One may take his choice Of methods. A brief treatment of the mass-curve in connection with overhaul has been inserted, and the subject of grades has been amplified. Scattered through the text numerous other changes, additions, and omissions have been made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the American Railway Engineering Association, 1921: Definitions, Specifications and Principles of Practice for Railway Engineering The Manual is the concentrated knowledge of the railway world as adopted by its engineers, and applies to construction, maintenance, and many phases of operation. The vastness of the field covered is all the more impressive when it is considered that the Manual is the condensed form of the text, representing only conclusions, but based on the most elaborate investigations and reports. The Manual's usefulness is not confined to the printed text and illus trations.' References. Are given by footnotes to volume, year and page to the context of the reports of committees, the discussions of the subjects, and the final action by the Association. It is therefore not only a text book, but in a large measure a key to the library of the publications of the Association.
