Vose is a technical guide written in the mid-19th century. This resource serves as a comprehensive manual for engineers involved in the planning, construction, and management of railroads in the United States, featuring essential rules, tables, and formulas. The primary focus of the book is to provide practical solutions and guidelines for various aspects of railroad engineering, including bridge design, earthworks, and equipment specifications. The opening of the Handbook outlines its purpose as a straightforward guide for American engineers, many of whom lack formal training in the field. It emphasizes the necessity for engineers to understand and apply basic mathematical principles to real-world construction challenges, such as bridge proportions and wall thicknesses. The preface sets the tone for the handbook, highlighting its practical nature and its reliance on established engineering authorities to ensure reliability and usefulness in the field.
