Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the proposal to construct a new railroad line to replace the inclined planes on the Allegheny Portage Railroad. These inclined planes were a major obstacle to efficient and safe transportation in the region. By examining the engineering, surveying, and economic factors involved, the author presents several alternative routes that could be used to avoid the planes.
