The Improvement of Railway and Street Railway Track
At the Convention of the Society in 1888, I had the pleasure of presenting a paper on “English Railway Track” (Transactions, June, 1888), in which, after drawing comparisons between the American and the English systems of railway track, I expressed my opinion as in favor of the American system, and gave the reasons for this opinion. In the discussion of that paper I modified the statement by saying that it was the American type of track as it should be, and not the actual American track as it too often exists in practice, to which I referred in advancing the opinion above mentioned, which opinion has since been considerably strengthened.
