Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Railway Curves and Location
I am aware that much more might have been said much more suggested - on the subject of location; but a field book being the object, the compact plan precluded any extensive essay.
If the work with brevity combines clearness, and is comprehensive withal, it is the work intended.
