The practical railway engineer

Аннотация

In the series of Papers of which this is the first, it is proposed to offer a condensed account of the engineering and mechanical operations and siructures which arc combined in tlie making and equipment of a railway. To do this as efficiently as the limits of the allotted space will allow, it is proposed to select examples from works already executed, presenting a useful collection of materials and facts, arranged so as to be adapted for ready appli­cation by Royal Engineers and others on whom may devolve the conduct of similar works at home and abroad.
