What reading level is A Textbook On Civil Engineering book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Freight trains, which are usually heavily loaded, are much more impeded by sharp curves than passenger trains, which are generally lighter and made up of cars which more readily adjust themselves to irregularities in line and surface.
No curve exceeding 10 degrees should be placed in the main line of any railroad. The additional cost of operating and maintaining a sharper curve would pay for the addi- tional outlay necessary to bring the degree within the 10- degree standard. Many roads place t...he maximum curve at 6 degrees, and though beyond the reach of many roads, it is a safe standard.

Besides the loss of time necessitated by running slowly on short curves, there is a much greater loss due to the wear and tear on rolling stock and upon the rails themselves.
The friction of the. wheel flanges against the rails rapidly wears them out, and the continual lurching and rolling of the cars detract greatly from the comfort of passengers.
Most of the trunk lines in the United States have been greatly improved since their first construction, especially in their alinement, some of them being practically rebuilt.
