Road surveying

Try to get an old, old, old copy of Davis and Foote. It will explain the way everything should have been done.

(I have a 1940 edition that is over 1,000 pages.)

That's why RR tracks in Europe are narrower than ours.
Defund govt
To fully fund govt first the national debt would have to be paid. The US Govt is $18 TRILLION in debt, using 350 million people in the USA it would require $51,000 from every man, woman and child to pay it off. And that's just the Federal debt. Did you write your check yet?

I have a 1928 edition, just looked at it and never realized that Foote was a Professor of Railroad Engineering in California. Chapter 21 has some good general information on Railroad Construction Surveys. Great idea Dave.

Dave O. PM me your email and I can scan a copy and send to you.
