What reading level is American Railroad Economics; a Text-Book for Investors And Students book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The absence of standardization renders com- parisons exceedingly difficult.
Rails. A fairly large number of railroads report the quality and character of the rails in the tracks.
Rail facilities are measured by weight. This may range from 50 to 110 pounds per yard length. For ordinary service on the main line of a modern rail- road system a 75 pound rail, is generally the mini- mum weight that can be safely used. With the con- stant tendency toward heavier rolling stock and greater speed, an 85... pound rail is fast becoming the standard. Taking the progress of the Norfolk & Western Railroad as typical, we find that on June 30, 1898, of a total of 1,496 miles of main track, over 1,206 or slightly more than 80 per cent, had rails of 67 pounds per yard or under. On June 30, 1911, ^however, — thirteen years later, — the 67 pound rail had very nearly disappeared and more than 80 per cent, of main track was laid with 85 pound rails.
There was, in addition, about 196 miles having 100 pound rails.
