This comprehensive work examines the evolution of railways in the United States, detailing the engineering innovations, construction techniques, and management practices that have shaped the railway system. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the significance of railroads in American industry and society. At the start of the book, the authors trace the origins and development of railroads, starting from ancient Roman tramways to the revolutionary introduction of the steam locomotive in the early 19th century. They highlight key American inventions, such as the swiveling truck and equalizing beams, which enabled greater adaptability in railway construction and operation compared to European models. The opening also emphasizes the importance of surveying and engineering in establishing efficient rail lines, detailing the rigorous processes involved in building railways that would support an ever-growing transportation network, which fundamentally altered the landscape of America.
