Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book collects firsthand accounts from engineers and managers about the implementation of metal railway tracks in Europe in the late 19th century. It adds to the growing body of evidence that metal tracks are a superior alternative to wooden ties. The book provides in-depth information on the various metal track systems that were experimented with and adopted on different lines, offering valuable insights into the factors that determine whether a metal track system is successful.
