About this title

Synopsis

Practical field guide for railroad engineers, with ready-to-use formulas and tables

This edition compiles rules, equations, and reference tables for laying out curves, calculating earthwork, and setting grades on railroad projects. It emphasizes concise solutions and tested values you can interpolate from, making on-site work more efficient.

It covers how to measure and adjust curves, determine radii and deflections, and apply corrections for curvature and refraction. It also includes Parabolic and vertical curves, leveling notes, and earth-work methods, supported by tables of magnetic variation, sines, tangents, and long chords.

Step-by-step methods to lay out curves, reversed and compound curves, and tangential connections
Tables of radii, ordinates, deflections, magnetic variation, and trigonometric values for quick reference
Techniques for leveling, slope stakes, and earth-work calculations, including prismoidal and excavation/embankment methods
Guidance on vertical curves, outer-rail elevation on curves, and related practical considerations

Ideal for engineers, surveyors, and field crews who need durable, practice-ready formulas and reference data in one volume.
