What reading level is Builders of the Nation the Railroad volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Jeffrey became president he took the old master mechanic uptown, put him in a fine office in a big building, and gave him the salary, title, and responsibility of general superintendent of the system; but it did not make the old worker happier than he had been there at the shops, with the sound of the 176 THE STORY OF THE RAILROAD, morning, noon, and evening whistle calling him to and from his work, just as it had called him at Philadel- phia in the days when his monthly stipend reached the sum... of six dollars.
At first the ties used on the Rio Grande were all pine, but the very hard mountain pine. These little locomotives — four wheels connected — could curve on the brim of a broad sombrero, and it was not an un- common thing for the locating engineers to run round a big bowlder rather than blast it away. They would not shy off for a tree unless it happened to be a very large one.
In the mad rush to reach a booming camp, no attention was paid to banks. Often in the early spring the two sides of a through cut would ooze down over the track and cover it with mud.
