The important principle in railway construction becomes therefore, at once apparent?that the more level the way, the straighter and fewer the curves it presents, the less will be the loss of power. RAILWAYS INVENTED. The characteristic distinction of the railway from that of wheel-tracks or stone tramroads is, that the railway is formed of parallel rails or bearers laid on a level, or as near a level as possible; these rails being placed at a uniform distance apart, to suit the gauge of the wheels of carriages adapted purposely for the track or way, and having a margin, or what is termed a flanch, to guide them. When cast-iron plate rails were invented, the flanch was made on the rail itself; but some time after the introduction into the country of cast-iron wheels, which is understood to have taken place about 1754, the plan was reversed, and the flanch was cast on the wheel. It is not accurately ascertained when railways on this principle were first introduced into Britain. They were originally termed tram or dram roads, or waggon-ways, the name tram-way being applied both to railways of this description and to stone wheel-tracks, though it is now commonly given to the latter. They were at first, probably, nothing but continuous parallel logs of wood, with a smooth surface. It is generally understood that wooden railways were first applied as a substitute for common roads at the collieries, between the years 1602 and 1649, for the purpose of more easily transmitting the produce of the coal-fields and other minerals from the mouths of the pits to the place of shipment, and of enabling the horses to draw greater loads. A description is given of a railway in 1766, then in use ...

This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railroads of the United States, now aggregating a hundred and fifty thousand miles and having several hundred different managements, are frequently spoken of comprehensively as the railroad system of the country, as though they constituted a unity in fact, and might be regarded and dealt with as an entirety, by their patrons and by the public authorities, whenever the conveniences they are expected to supply, or the conduct of managers and agents, come in question. So far, however, is this from being the case, that it would be impossible to name any other industrial interest where the diversities are so obvious and the want of unity so conspicuous and so important. The diversities date from the very origin of the roads; they have not come into existence under the same laws nor subject to the same control. It was accepted as an undoubted truth in constitutional law from the first that the authority for the construction of railroads within a State must come from the State itself, which alone could empower the promoters to appropriate lands by adversary proceedings for the purpose. The grant of corporate power must also come from[xxii] the State, or, at least, have State recognition and sanction; and where the proposed road was to cross a State boundary, the necessary corporate authority must be given by every State through or into which the road was to run. It was conceded that the delegated powers of the General Government did not comprehend the granting of charters for the construction of these roads within the States, and even in the Territories charters were granted by the local legislatures. The case of the transcontinental roads was clearly exceptional; they were to be constructed in large part over the public domain, and subsidies were to be granted by Congress for the purpose.
