BINDING/CONDITION: brown binding; a Very Good book, with a Near Fine dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 11 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide . Sources, index. Light peach endpapers. Description: Profusely illustrated in color. ''Rail historian Brian Solomon presents the only completely illustrated book to tackle the development and evolution of North American railroad bridges. The author examines major types of construction -- including trusses, trestles, viaducts (both stone arches and steel construction), suspension bridges, and movable spans -- as well as many of the men responsible for pioneering them. In addition to explaining in layperson's terms the principles behind each type of construction and why they are used in given situations, Solomon offers histories detailing the origin, construction, and use of iconic structures such as Hell Gate, Starrucca Viaduct, and Suisun Bay Bridge, among others. The illustrations include landmark patent drawings, period postcards, specially commissioned diagrams, and modern color photography from some of today's top rail photographers.''
