Excerpt from Scribner's Magazine, Vol. 4: July-December, 1888The railway today is one of the matter-of-fact associations of our active life. We use it so constantly that it requires some little effort to think Of it as a won derful thing a creation Of man's ingenuity, which did not exist when our grand fathers were young. Its long bridges, high Viaducts, dark tunnels may be re marked and remembered by the traveller, but the narrow way of steel, the road itself, seems but a Simple work. And yet the problem of location, the determina tion, foot by foot and mile by mile, Of where the line must go, calls in its success ful solution for the highest skill Of the engineer, whose profession 'before the railway was created hardly existed at all. Locomotives now climb heights Wh1ch a few years ago no vehicle on wheels could ascend. The writer, With some en gineer friends, was in the mountains Of Colorado last year, and saw a train of very intelligent donkeys loaded With ore from the mines, to which no access could be had but by those sure-footed beasts. And Since then one of that party Of engi neers has located and is building a railway to those very mmes. NO heights seem too great today, no valleys too deep, no cafions too forbiddmg, no streams too wide. If commerce demands, the engineer will respond and the ra11way w1ll be built.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
