PREFACE
RAILWAY ENGINEERING in new countries presents many difficulties not provided for in text-books, and although the engineer be equipped with standard works of reference, replenished from time to time with books of the latest practice, problems quite outside the range of such assistance have to be investigated. During over thirty years of extensive practice (in which his department built over 1000 miles of new lines and took over some 2100 miles of other ownership) the author of this work has been faced with innumerable questions which called for independent working, and the results have been carefully noted and cast into form for future reference. These have gradually grown into a useful collection of Notes and Data, including tables, formulae, hints and wrinkles worth knowing, type-designs which have proved successful, memoranda of trial and practice, results of experiments, etc.
Such information gathered from experience, reduced to brief expression and arranged in alphabetical sequence, is likely to be of service to engineers engaged in similar work; also to hydraulic engineers who will find herein much to interest them.
Permission to publish the valuable plans and tables appearing in this work was most courteously granted by the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway Company through their former General Manager, the late Sir Guy Calthrop, and the author gratefully acknowledges this kindness. He desires also to express his gratification that Messrs. Griffin have included this unpretentious volume amongst their well-known works of reference. He will appreciate the kindness of colleagues who may note inaccuracies if they will draw his attention to these, and will greatly value suggestions for improvement or addition.
