Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to practical railroad engineering. Intended for both the novice and experienced engineer, it provides a detailed examination of mathematical truths and methods necessary to perform engineering feats. The author's goal in composing this volume was to supply valuable tools to young engineers who lack the advantage of technical education before entering the field. Chapters are devoted to key engineering topics like plane trigonometry, logarithms, and propositions relating to the circle. The text is interspersed with instructions on the adjustment and use of instruments and hints on field routines, all of which the author believes will be valuable to the inexperienced learner.
