What reading level is The Railways of England .. book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here the Company has the natural lie of the ground in its favour. The coal comes down the gently sloping valley of the sluggish river in full loads, and back up the hill again the engines have nothing to haul but the empty wagons. Right through the middle of the sidings runs the main line to the ISTorth, with four sets of rails; one pair for passengers and one for goods; and no truck, whether full or empty, may venture, without urgent cause, to trespass upon the passenger lines. On the up side ...of the line the full trucks are sorted ; on the down side the returned empties, with an independent staff and different engines.
Here too the engines are helped by horses, and it is curious to watch how the clever beasts never put their shoulders to the collar till the engine has • " hit up '' the trucks and started them. And so, heavy as the work looks, they are none the worse for it; oiie fat and contented- looking old mare, who seemed to have plenty of work still left in her, has, says the foreman, been here fifteen years already.
