Summary: A good introduction with antiquated economics
Comment: RAILROAD ENGINEERING is somewhat pricey for a simple update of a book originally published in the early 1950's. A good introduction to the engineering aspects of railroading but with grossly obsolete economics and operating concepts. This critic, a onetime trackman on the Erie Lackawanna (Local 1502 MOW Employees) and now licensed professional engineer, found the author's suggestion to hire vagrants as gandy dancers somewhat amusing. At half the price, this book would be a worthwhile addition to a railfan's library or to a beginning engineering student's book bag.
