This book is a descriptive account of the recommendations made by a group of railway experts brought together by the city of Chicago in 1892 to provide alternative solutions to the problem of railroad crossings at grade and the resulting deaths and injuries. The book presents the experts' findings based on their investigation into successful grade crossing solutions in major eastern cities and includes a report on their visit to Philadelphia, Jersey City, Hartford, Springfield, Rochester, and Buffalo.
