Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Stephenson M.P., F.R.S., Hon.MA, Hon DCL (1803-1859) was the leading engineer of his day. He was acclaimed for his development of the main-line steam locomotive and renowned for his innovations in bridge building. He built the first trunk railway line in the world between London and Birmingham, was at the centre of the railway 'mania' that gripped early Victorian Britain, and by 1850 had been responsible for one third of the railway network in England. Robert Stephenson - The Eminent Engineer is the first biographical study to be devoted to Robert Stephenson for over a century, and is fully illustrated in black-and-white and colour. Written by a team of experts in railway and engineering history, chapters explore Stephenson's early training and work with his father, George and examine his influence and achievements in railway development, noting his advocacy of planning, rather than an unbridled free market. They also examine his innovation and techniques in railway and bridge building and port and water engineering. Not least they consider Stephenson's public face - the immense recognition he won as a person who contributed to the transformation of society by opening up communications and transport, and his career as a respected arbitrator, MP, and Commissioner for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Excerpt: ...Alexander Eoss was united with him as co-engineer, to carry out on the spot all that very important part of the work which the engineer-in-chief could not personally superintend. The positions and mutual relations of the two engineers were accurately denned in the deed of contract made September 29, 1853, between the Grand Trunk Eailway Company of Canada, of the one part, and William Jackson, of Birkenhead, and Samuel Morton Peto, Thomas Brassey, and Edward Ladd Betts, all of London, in England, contractors, of the other part. ' The contractors, ' runs the language of the deed, ' will make, build, and construct the said tubular bridge over the said River St. Lawrence, at or near Montreal, according to the plans, sections, and specifications prepared and drawn by Eobert Stephenson, of London, aforesaid, Civil Engineer, M.P., and Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, of Montreal, C.E.' The deed then requires: ' The Bridge when completed to be in perfect repair, and of the best and most substantial character, and to be approved of by the said Eobert Stephenson.' It further provides, ' that in case of the death, refusal, or inability to act of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, another engineer shall from time to time be appointed by the said Eobert Stephenson, in place of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, and who shall have all the powers of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss. And in the event of the death, or refusal, or inability of the said Eobert Stephenson, then all things then remaining to be done by the said Eobert Stephenson shall be done by an eminent civil engineer, to be appointed by the president for the time being of the Institution of Civil Engineers in England, upon the requisition of the parties hereto, or either of them.'
