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, compiling recommended construction and maintenance practice for railroad engineers. The plates are measured engineering drawings: cut-and-fill cross sections with hatched embankments and dimension lines, pipe-line diagrams marking expansion compensators, and track details, useful as sources of technical line work, hatching textures, and annotated figures.
