A railroad is not just a flanged wheel rolling on a ribbon of steel. It is a reaction between its physical properties, man, and most importantly, the environment. By understanding the natural and human factors that compose this whole picture, it is hoped that the reader will have a greater sense of appreciation of the forces contributing to these scenes. The unparalleled beauty of the right-of-way is the catalyst that sets the environmental intrigue into motion. Accordingly, this material is presented in a format of a travelogue. In this manner, all these facets will be interwoven, including as much scientific and technical detail as possible, to form a narrative visualization of each scene as it unfolds.
