Description

Rail Network Design and Planning by Steven Boldeman provides a comprehensive overview of rail network design and systems. The book delves into the various elements that comprise a rail system, including junctions, termini, and common features such as stabling yards and maintenance centres. The author explains the broad principles of network design, including achieving high network speeds and building pendulum lines without curves. Methods for describing a rail system are also discussed, along with the relationship between different types of rail modes. The book covers topics such as braking curves, average speeds for various rail transport modes, and provides an overview of rail infrastructure and stations. A brief introduction to engineering disciplines and station environments is also included, making this book an ideal resource for those involved in planning and designing rail networks.
