Synopsis
Excerpt from Railroad Construction: Theory and Practice, a Text-Book for the Use of Students in Colleges and Technical Schools
The preparation of this book was begun several years ago, when much of the subject-matter treated was not to be found in print, or was scattered through many books and pamphlets, and was hence unavailable for student use. Portions of the book have already been printed by the mimeograph process or have been used as lecture-notes, and hence have been subjected to the refining process of classroom use.
The author would call special attention to the following features.
