Hwy PREFACE. This book is based upon a series of lectures which I delivered at Lehigh University, last spring, the subject of which dealt with the economics of the preliminary and other determinations and of the construction and operating of high-speed and heavy traction interurban electric railroads. After the lectures had been delivered, some of the members of the faculty of Lehigh University and others who had heard the lectures, together with other men whose financial and other interests are essentially railroads, including practicing engineers, to whom the notes had been loaned, expressed the desire to have them published, for the reason, as they stated, that the treatment was novel and practical, and that no discussion of the subject, as presented in the lectures, existed in book form. I have, therefore, filled out the lecture notes, in some places adding matter thereto, and have rearranged the subjects so as to follow the order in which they would be taken up in the investigation and construction of an electric railway undertaking of the kind herein considered.
