Excerpt from Two Reports Addressed to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, on the Projected North Line of Railway From Liverpool to Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal, Near Manchester: Exhibiting the Extent of Its Cuttings and Embankings, With Estimates of the Cost of Completing the Said Railway
IN compliance with the instructions conveyed to me through Mr. Henry booth, Treasurer of the Company, I have carefully examined copies from the plans and sections deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for the County Palatine of Lancaster, of an intended Railway from the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Railway to Liverpool, surveyed by Mr. Comrie, under the directions of Messrs, walker and burges, Civil Engineers, which project has been familiarly called The North Line. I beg to submit the result of my investigation of excavations and embankments, the expense and the probable time the same will occupy in execution, with an abstract of the levels and gradients.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the feasibility of a proposed railway line between Liverpool and Manchester, analyzing its potential costs, construction challenges, and operational expenses. The author, a prominent civil engineer, meticulously assesses earthworks, embankments, and bridges along the proposed route, estimating the immense quantity of excavation required and the corresponding need for spoil banks. He also considers the impact of gradients and inclines on locomotive power, concluding that the proposed line would require considerably more energy to operate than the existing Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Furthermore, the author highlights the substantial land acquisition costs and the need for numerous bridges, viaducts, and other structures, emphasizing the escalating expenses associated with such a project. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the proposed railway line, weighing its potential benefits against the significant financial and engineering challenges involved in its construction and operation.
