Discussion on Inclined Planes for Railroads
The valuable paper contributed by Mr. Wells, and the very interesting reminiscences of early American achievements in railroad operating which it has called forth from the members of the Society seem to me to fully confirm the conclusion already reached by railway managers the world over, that the frictional adhesion of locomotive driving wheels upon the rail is sufficient to work almost any gradient likely to be found necessary in practice, and is upon the whole much the most economical to adopt.
