Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, through meticulous surveying and analysis, chronicles the process of defining the ideal route for the Western Rail Road, a critical infrastructure project of the mid-19th century. The author carefully assesses the nature of the terrain, comprehensively details the characteristics of various potential routes, and provides precise calculations of the engineering challenges involved. Positioned within the broader context of America's burgeoning transportation network, this book illuminates the complexities of infrastructure development during a period of rapid industrial expansion. Its exploration of the interplay between natural features, engineering constraints, and economic considerations offers valuable insights into the shaping of the American landscape and the technological advancements that transformed 19th-century society. Ultimately, this book serves as a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of those who laid the foundation for the modern transportation systems we rely on today.
