Sinopsis
Excerpt from Line and Surface: A Practical Treatise on Laying Out and Maintaining the Alignment and Surface of Railroad Track
Still another and perhaps the most important of all in an economic sense is the fact that the speed of trains may be greatly increased on good track, as compared with bad - thus enabling the transpor tation of larger quantities of freight and more pas sengers with the same number of engines and cars. By far the greatest consideration of all is that of safety, which is, of course, enhanced by all track improvement. Therefore, inasmuch as an important part of the trackman's work is to reduce the friction and expense of moving traffic over the road, it is important for him to know and apply the principles necessary to good work.

Excerpt from Line and Surface: A Practical Treatise on Laying Out and Maintaining the Alignment and Surface of Railroad Track
The subject matter of this book had its origin in a series of circular letters of instruction prepared by the author for his own trackmen. These were later revised and published as a series of articles in the Railway and Engineering Review. The treatment of the subject is simple and practical, and at the same time theoretically correct. Engineers will find it interesting from this standpoint, the method of imparting such instruction in the best way being an important and ever-present problem.
