Description
Excerpt from Military Railways
Other sources of information were Military Railways (text-book at Chatham, England). Engineer Field Manual, U. S. Corps of Engineers. Records of the Rebellion. Professional Papers, Royal Engineers.
Lieutenants James G. Steese and Glen E. Edgerton, Corps of Engineers, assisted me by reviewing the manuscript.
The text of this subject was written in 1905 and was then laid aside for four years. All notes were lost or destroyed and therefore I am unable to recollect the sources of much of my information. For that reason I trust that anyone who contributed in the collection of data for the book will lay it to the loss of notes and not to the lack of appreciation, if suitable acknowledgment is not made herein by name.
Throughout the preparation of this text I have traveled in every sort of train and motor, with circuses, track-laying trains, and on private inspection trains; I have slept in grading camps, in cabooses of freight trains; and everywhere I have encountered the greatest courtesy and willingness to furnish information, and I desire here to express my appreciation of the kindness and assistance received from every source.
Corrections and criticisms of the form and subject matter will be gladly received.
