What reading level is The Railroad Problem book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Some of them destined through under seal to large cities, such as New York or Chicago or Philadelphia ; others, carrying a variety of products to small places, would be addressed to recognized trans- fer or assorting points. This last method would be exactly similar to that employed by the post-office de- partment or the express companies in handling their daily flood tides of small parcel traffic. The use of the universal container would be directed more par- ticularly, however, to heavier fre...ight, both in individual More Railroad Opportunity 165 packages and in bulk. Coal or grain or lumber would hardly be sent in a container. It might be possible, however, to ship flour and sugar in the universal con- tainer, and entirely without the expense of wrappings.
From the manufacturer's door whether it were at street level, or in a community industrial building fifteen floors above the street the container would go to the railroad frame car. By use of small-wheeled trucks or overhead tractors it would be carried first to the waiting chassis of the motor truck in case the manu- facturer was not able to command railroad siding facili- ties for himself.
