Preface
Composing this little volume is the response to the requests of my friends and fellow-workers.
The work takes up nearly all the essential questions asked in the examinations for engineers in the Eastern District.
The first series of questions are those asked in the examination for engineers on the Boston & Maine System. The line up of the work is such that an answer to nearly any question in these examinations may be found, in addition to several useful questions and answers involving Locomotive Operation.
