This book provides detailed instructions for an extensive project to evaluate railroad property in the United States which was mandated by the Valuation Act of 1913. The author provides specific guidance on organizing field teams, assigning them to appropriate tasks, and the types of data each team should collect. The project's ambitious goal was to inventory every element of railroad property, from locomotives and cars to power plants and machine shops. The guidelines in this book not only provided structure for a massive undertaking but also established a methodology for evaluating and documenting railroad assets. This book serves as a valuable historical record of a significant effort to document the American railroad system at the beginning of the 20th century and offers insights into the challenges and complexities of managing and maintaining a vast transportation network.
