Manual of recommended practice for railway engineering and maintenance of way
A standards manual issued by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association in Chicago in 1905, setting out agreed specifications for track, roadbed, and structures for practicing railway engineers and maintenance crews. The plates are line diagrams of cut-and-fill cross sections, embankments, and excavations, drawn with hatched slopes and dimension lines with foot-and-inch callouts, usable as technical ornament, section-profile motifs, or measured-drawing typography.
