Excerpt from Manual of Recommended Practice for Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way: Containing the Definitions, Specifications and Principles of Practice Adopted and Recommended by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association

At the Fifth Annual Convention of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association, held at Chicago in March, 1904, it was decided to publish a Manual of the Recommended Definitions, Specifications and Principles of Practice for Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Work adopted by the Association at its conventions after due consideration of reports on the various subjects submitted by standing or special committees of the Association.

Owing to the importance and weight that should be justly attributed to the deliberate and carefully expressed opinion of an Association comprising prominent railway officials and specialists in the various classes of work and duties connected with the location, construction, maintenance and operation of railroads, and the influence that this publication will undoubtedly have on railway engineering and maintenance of way work in this country, the Board of Direction has exercised particular care to include in the Manual only such matter as has been carefully and sufficiently considered by the Association prior to its adoption by vote at the annual conventions so as to warrant its publication in this Manual as the practice recommended by the Association. The Manual will be supplemented or issued annually after each annual convention and kept up-to-date by such additions and revision of previously published matter as may be decided on by the Association at each convention, working under special rules governing the publication of the Manual.

The action of the Association in adopting and publishing definitions, specifications and principles of practice is in the nature of recommendations only and not binding on its members or railway companies. It is distinctly within the sphere of the Associations work, as expressed in Article I, of its Constitution, viz.:

"The object of this Association shall be the advancement of knowledge pertaining to the scientific and economical location, construction, operation and maintenance of railroads."
