RAILROAD ENGINEERING

This book presents railroad engineering principles quantitatively but without excessive resort to mathematics, and applies these principles to day-by-day design, construction, operation, and maintenance. It relates practice to principles in a sequential pattern (subgrade, ballast, ties, rails) and is applicable to both conventional railroads and rapid transit systems.
