What reading level is Notes On Track: Construction And Maintenance book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

By this method the locomotive is coupled on at the rear end of the train or string of cars to be switched, and in the course of successive movements forward and back the cars are pushed or "kicked" to place on the distribution and other tracks. The track which forms the extension of a ladder or is connected with the same, and on which the movement of cars takes place in switch- ing, is called a "drilling" track. As in this method of switching, the whole string of unswitched cars must be handled... at each movement, it is necessarily slower than some other methods.
By the poling or "staking" method the train is usually run out of the receiving tracks and left standing on a track which joins with the lad- der of the distribution tracks. The switch engine working on an adjoin- ing parallel track, pushes, by means of a pole, the cars from the head end of the train, one at a time, or as many at a time as are found together belonging to the same destination or lot, commonly called a "cut. " Some- times a double cut is started in one movement.
