Concrete on Electric Railways Methods, Designs and Uses of Concrete on Modern Traction Systems

Reprint of three articles that originally appeared in Electric Traction magazine during 1923 describing the benefits of using concrete on electric street railways. Among the uses described are as a base for the tracks, as pavement around the tracks, to build dams for needed power plants as well as the plants themselves (cooling towers, buildings, coal storage bins), concrete poles, railway ties, bridges, elevated railways, subways and tunnels, and modern stations. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and diagrams. 19 pages.
