Despite the project still being in its early stages, it highlights the extensive planning, surveys, and engineering challenges encountered in deciding the optimal route for the railroad between Philadelphia and Columbia. The author draws from an eclectic mix of sources to provide a granular account of the complex factors that guided the engineers, including technical considerations and community concerns about the impact on the environment, water supply, and local neighborhoods. Through detailed accounts of meetings, reports, and debates among engineers, government officials, and citizens, this book comprehensively documents the decision-making process that ultimately shaped the course of one of America's most important railroads.
