Описание: Excerpt from Narrow Gauge Railways in America: Embracing a Sketch of the Rise, Progress and Success of the New System, and Valuable Statistics as to Grades, Curves, Weight of Rail, Locomotives, Cars, Etc., Also, a Directory of Narrow Gauge Railways in North America

The favorable reception accorded to the first edition of this work, through its narrating in a popular form the history of the Narrow Gauge Railway, and presenting in a succinct man ner vital figures concerning those constructed, thus becoming an assistant in promoting the construction of others, must be sufficient apology for reissuing it after the lapse of a year.

In a work of this nature, devoted to a special railway interest, which is growing rapidly, the statistics require to be constantly corrected, and extensive additions made thereto, so that an annual revision is absolutely necessary in order that it may be a manual to those engaged in the promotion and construction of economical railways.

To engineers, the new chapter on construction, containing formulas for earthworks and for laying out curves, may prove useful and acceptable.

To railroad companies, the corporate history and reports of organizations other than their own may induce comparison; and it is hoped that their relations to each other may be drawn closer by the construction of connecting roads.

To the public, whose desire for cheap means of transportation to open up rich mineral and agricultural sections, so that their latent products may be converted into wealth, and who desire to attain that end with the smallest outlay, this brochure is offered for reflection.
