Excerpt from Maintenance of Way and Structures
A pronounced development has taken place the past decade in the materials and appliances in the construction and maintenance of railway-track. Changes in the composition and section of rails and the steady increase in the use of treated ties, following the scientific development of the timber-preserving industry, are notable examples. The use by American railways of tie-plates, rail-anchors, screw-spikes, steel ties, section motor-cars, etc., is so recent that a few of these are scarcely beyond the experimental stage. The Federal valuation of railways has been accompanied by new systems of accounting in the engineering as well as other departments and has placed greater responsibility upon the railway engineer. An accompanying development, though less pronounced, has taken place in the maintenance-of-way organization and in the methods of doing the work.
This book was undertaken with the idea of setting forth the best accepted practice of the day in that important branch of railway engineering, Maintenance of Way and Structures. The author has attempted to arrange the matter and treat it in such a way that it will be of interest both to the maintenance-of-way engineer and to the university student pursuing a course in engineering. Fundamental principles and theory are stated and are emphasized in each instance by representative examples of the practice of individual railways. An effort has been made to provide a very complete list of illustrations which considerably outnumber those published elsewhere. The index is arranged so that the relative importance of the references imder each topic is at once apparent. The subject of signaling has been entirely omitted. Its wonderful recent development and wide adoption place it beyond the scope of this book. A separate volume should be devoted to its treatment.
The author wishes to thank the many railway officials, engineers, manufacturers, and others who have assisted him by supplying data or by criticism of the manuscript. He has endeavored to give credit to the works of others, to periodicals, and to societies and associations where credit is due. Frequent reference is made to the work of the American Hail way Engineering Association which in a large measure is responsible for the present standardization of railway engineering practice.
