The last type is what Boss Liang calls the "I"-shaped rail. It is very simple and can be easily fixed on the sleepers using spikes. The disadvantage is that the strength is not high. However, the strength problem can be solved by using steel rails."

DeVoe explained to Fremont very seriously.

"However, the track you just looked at is still a railroad track rather than a steel rail. Due to the strength of the material, we had to make certain compromises. However, I can assure you that this track, at least in the United States, is absolutely first-class."

When it comes to America's railroad tracks, Ward's eyes look somewhat contemptuous.

Ward's disdain for American railroads also had a reason.

At the same time, the frequency of train derailments and accidents in the United States was much higher than in Europe.

Ward discovered why while working for the Moheck and Hudson Railroad.

That is, although the United States has laid more than 20,000 miles of railways in the past two decades, this data has surpassed most European countries and has become an out-and-out railway power.

In fact, behind these data are a large number of shoddy and substandard railways. The low quality of American railways made Ward dumbfounded.

Not to mention that the quality of the spikes produced by American railroad companies is low, in fact, any railroad company that can make spikes for railroads can be considered a very conscientious railroad company.

Many railway companies don't even drive spikes. The sleepers are placed very casually on the ground without being compacted by heavy objects, without considering the actual terrain conditions.

Even in the design of curves, in order to reduce construction costs, the turning rate was not fully considered, nor was the height of the outer guide rails increased.

All in all, the United States is more concerned about the mileage and quantity of railroads than the quality of railroads when laying railroads.

Ward, who had just arrived at the time, was incredulous that these inferior railways could be put into use.

He also understood why American Railroad's accident rate was so high.

Ward once reported this problem to the Moheck and Hudson Railroad Company, but the company's executives were more willing to spend their thoughts on how to build better locomotives than on the tracks.

Because they believe that manufacturing more advanced locomotives can catch people’s attention, promote the company’s image, and attract more passengers.

Therefore, no company originally wanted to focus on building high-quality railway tracks. It was not until Ward came to the California Railroad Company that he changed Ward's view of American Railways.

It turns out that in remote California, America, there was such a visionary leader of a railroad company.

"It seems you have a disdain for American railroads."

Ward's attitude toward American railroads made Fremont uncomfortable.

"Except for future railroads laid by Calrail."

Ward did not deny this, he told Fremont.

"Senator, with all due respect, I sincerely invite you to get on board and experience our company's new trains and tracks. I think after experiencing it, you will understand why Mr. Liang wants to postpone the construction date of the San Francisco and Sacramento Railway.

The last few chapters have been about farming, and the data has dropped significantly. However, the plot of farming has to be written. If not, even if it is written later, it will be the climax. Transforming advanced trains and locomotives out of thin air, and transforming a lot of steel, it will be inexplicably cool.

, so it’s thankless to be proficient, but I still decided to write.

The author is a liberal arts student and has little knowledge of finance and science and engineering in college. To write this kind of plot, I can only look up the information and insist on writing it, and the update speed cannot be improved.

This chapter was originally written in the afternoon. I read it once and rewrote it if I was not satisfied. I hope everyone can forgive me. After all, the readers who can read this have spent real money, and I still have to ensure the quality and be responsible to everyone.
Chapter completed!
