What reading level is Railways And Locomotion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


bars which impinge, at their other extremities, against powerful springs, secured to the bed of the carriage. On any check being given to the mo- mentum of the carriage, these springs receive the Pig 14 shock, and by their elas- ticity destroy or absorb it.
The contrivance by which the jerk is avoided in starting, is identical in principle. The hook by which each carriage is attached to its prede- cessor, or to the engine, is formed upon the end of a bar, which slides through sockets, and is co
...nnected with the mid- dle of a stout spring whose ends are nxed.
Now, on applying the motive power to the en- gine, its momentum is first communicated to these springs, and the inertia of the carriage is not suddenly and rudely, but gradually, overcome.
The common luggage wagons are not provided with buffers or spring draw-bars : and we have only to observe the departure or arrival of a goods train to perceive how violent is the concussion which in passenger trains is prevented by these useful contrivances.
