This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...reports. On the Baltimore & Ohio, Cincinnati Hamilton & Dayton, Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis, Delaware & Hudson New York Central and the Pennsylvania Railroads a complete report is required daily, both of the total number of hours worked and of the distribution. When these reports are made out each night the foreman's responsibility ceases, the remainder of the clerical work being done in the office of the supervisor or roadmaster, the division engineer or superintendent. PRESENT PRACTICE. Monthly Reports--The Canadian Pacific is typical of the roads which require monthly reports on both the time of laborers and distribution of work. The roadmaster is expected to keep in touch with the work, so that he can check up fairly well both distribution and time, as sent in by the foreman, and the officials consider that this system does away with unnecessary daily or weekly reports. A tie report, rail fastenings report, rail report, tool report and material report, are required once a month. These blanks are made as simple as possible, but very much in detail, so that there is no possibility of the track foreman omitting anything. The men are educated in filling out these forms, so that no mistakes need be made. The foreman is required to carry his time-roll book with him constantly, and to be ready to submit it for inspection to the roadmaster at any time. The time book is made up with an enclosed carbon sheet, and second sheet, on which a copy is made of the foreman's entries. The foreman cannot get at the duplicate to alter it without tearing the two sheets apart at the bottom and the top. This makes it easy to detect any corrections made. When these are necessary the foreman makes them on the original and either explains them in...

From the Introduction. In the rapid and extraordinary growth of railroad construction, within the last sixty years, the improvements made in the road-bed have been many and very marked in degree, and the proper maintenance of this important department has always been an interesting study. Within the last fifteen years, however, the introduction of steel rails has practically worked a complete revolution in the construction and care of railways, and the few really good works which treated of iron rails and their details are now out of date in many features and valueless as guides to the trackmen. In the following pages the author has endeavored to put into a compact, simple form the latest practice in the maintenance of track as deduced from the accepted methods of the prominent trunk lines of railway in the United States. The purpose of this volume is to describe the materials used in the construction and maintenance of the road-bed; the tools handled by the trackmen; the appliances and structures connected with the track and in the charge of the track department, and to fully discuss the most profitable manner of doing work. It is intended to be essentially a "practical" treatise; but one fully recognizing the value of scientific work and simply reducing these scientific methods to their most thoroughly practical form. With this end in view, mathematics have been avoided as much as possible, and likewise abstruse technical problems which have been fully discussed by other authors. One of the valuable features of this work will be its details of illustration and description. The information given is intended to be precise, accurate and to the point; and the illustrations are all made from actual working drawings, and are given with such dimensions as are considered requisite....
