What reading level is The 1913 Flood And How It Was Met By a Railroad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They arrived here after dark, having covered a total of 51 miles since 5 o'clock in the morning.
The water fell somewhat in the night, and in the morning the first means of conveyance used was a hand car. Their progress was very slow, because the water was generally over the tracks in the washed-out sections, and the track itself covered with debris, which had to be removed to permit the hand car to proceed at all. A good part of the way the hand car had to be poled along. Between Millersburg a...nd Killbuck, a distance of six miles, several miles of track were actually washed out, generally to a depth of five or six feet. It required the entire morning to cover this stretch.
The Cleveland train, marooned at Brink Haven, was visited. After that the trip was continued, meeting trouble at short intervals. It was over the road that the Division Superintendent had just come that these marooned passengers would be taken north in two days. And it had to be repaired in the meantime.
Traffic was not restored over the entire Akron divi- sion for ten days, and that in the face of a force of more than 1200 men working near their base of supplies ?"d at high pressure.
