Excerpt from Railroad Construction: Theory and Practice; A Text-Book for the Use of Students in Colleges and Technical Schools
The last few years have seen a greater advance in the science of railroad construction than any similar period in its previous history. This has been largely due to the combined work Of the several Standing Committees of the American Railway Engineering Association. The writer has received special per mission to quote from the Association's publications and has availed himself of the privilege, because he considers that the decisions of such an Association are, in general, the highest authority obtainable.
