Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary and Practical Instructions on the Science of Railway Construction In the year 1850, Sir Rowland Macdonald Stephenson, to whom India is so deeply indebted for the introduction of railway communication, under the Governor-General-ship of the late Earl of Dalhousie, presented gratuitously to the late Mr. John Weale, as marking his estimation of the "Rudimentary Series," the original treatise on the "Science of Railway Construction," of which a fourth edition, greatly enlarged, is now presented to the reader, with his approbation, kindly conceded to the publishers, under the editorship of Mr. Edward Nugent, C.E. In the second edition, published in 1861, much use was made of "American and European Railway Practice," by A. L. Holley, then just published at New York, one of the best practical books on the subject of Railway Construction, more particularly in all that relates to the Permanent Way. The work is divided into ten sections, the whole of which have been carefully revised and corrected. In the first, on Mensuration, and in the second, on Surveying, the solution of the problems has been greatly simplified, and concise useful additions have been made. The fourth division, on Railway Curves, has been entirely rewritten, and much useful matter introduced relating to turnouts, crossings, and vertical curves at junction of gradients.

Excerpt: ...on ballast, and 2,640 square feet of bearing of rails on timbers. The upper timber, when decayed, could be easily slipped out at the sides. The whole would afford much vertical stiffness, the bearing surface would be near the rail, and the structure would be elastic. There is another mode, in which T-iron ribs, 25 pounds per yard, take the place of the vertical planking. This makes equal to a 65-pound rail, with 3,150 cubic feet of timber per mile, with the bearings as above. Either variety of the sandwich system may be considerably simplified, if a superior quality of iron is insisted upon, by making the rail as nearly right angular under its head as it can be rolled, so as to prevent the necessity of dressing the timber to fit the shape, for instance. The groove for the flange may be very cheaply made by fitting a circular cutter in an ordinary wood planing machine and passing the timber through in the ordinary manner. It has been objected that this groove will fill with ice in winter, uponNorthern roads--because ice occasionally forms entirely across the road-bed between the rails, to a height which sometimes carries the wheels on their flanges and causes them to run off the line. Now, since the timbers would not necessarily touch each other within an inch or more, at their ends, any rain or snow water would run out of the groove. It is possible, however, that the groove might fill with sleet which would gradually turn to ice, and thus lift the flanges. This can be only settled by experiment. The timbers may be trimmed should this prove a serious objection. The last-named plan--raising the tread of the rail high enough to clear the flange--requires a little more weight of metal, but it most effectually prevents trouble from ice, and it...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Construction The construction and maintenance of a railway calls for the application of so many branches of engineering that several volumes would be required to do ample justice to a subject so comprehensive and ever-extending. To avoid attempting so wide a range, the object of the following pages has been to describe briefly some of the recognized leading features which regulate railway construction, and to assist the explanation with sketches of works selected from actual practice. Where the number of existing good examples is legion, it is somewhat difficult to make a choice for illustration, and the course adopted has been to select such samples of structures as appear best to elucidate in a simple manner the different types of work under consideration. In the drawings and diagrams many important minor details are necessarily omitted, partly to avoid complexity, but principally to leave more prominent the leading features of the particular piece of work referred to in the description. Some of the sketches of the large span bridges and large span roofs are only shown in outline; but, as their principal dimensions are given, a general idea can be obtained of their actual proportions. No allusion is made to the requisite strengths of the various structures described, nor to the necessary dimensions of the materials used in their construction, as this would necessitate the introduction of a vast amount of mathematical formulae which does not come under the province of the object in view, and which the engineer has already at command from his training and works of reference.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Railway Practice: A Collection of Working Plans and Practical Details of Construction in the Public Works of the Most Celebrated Engineers This early impression on the author's mind was confirmed by the opinion of gentlemen the best qualified to decide on such a question, and it became conviction when he was assured by his intelligent publisher, that inquiries after such works were frequent, and the demand for information connected with them urgent. Satisfied, therefore, as to the paucity of such information, and the consequent value of any particulars descriptive of the minutiae of this most important branch of engineering, he could not hesitate as to the propriety of producing his Railway Practice, to which he now solicits the favourable notice of the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Railroad Construction; For the Use of American Engineers: Containing the Necessary Rules, Tables, and Formulae for the Location, Construction, Equipment, and Management of Railroads, as Built in the United States The object of this work is given in the plainest possible manner all instructions, rules, and tables necessary for the location, construction, equipment, and management of railroads. As a general thing, American engineers are not educated for their business; and when they do possess a knowledge of pure science, they are at a loss how to apply it. The reader is presumed acquainted with the elements of arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and mechanics; being thus provided, he will, by a perusal of what follows, be enabled to correctly proportion bridges, of wood, stone, and iron; abutments, piers, retaining walls, superstructure, and locomotive engines; and to plan and lay out, execute, and estimate any description of work occurring upon railroad.
