This book approaches the engineering of railroads scientifically through the empirical data the author himself collected through innovative, pioneering experiments. The author conducted tensile, impact, and bending tests on wrought iron to establish its behaviors and characteristics when subjected to various forces. In the absence of standards or existing research in these parameters, this book provided detailed calculations, charts, and equations for determining the dimensions and strength of rails and their supports, and established essential principles guiding the design of railroads, many of which still inform engineering practices today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
