John Zuspan has dedicated his life to building, maintaining, teaching and managing Railroad Track. He now offers over 40 years of experience in these convenient Handbooks and Desktop versions.

Inside each handbook are many graphics, pictures and tips. There are stopping points along the process with checklists as reminders to proceed in the proper order. These checklists can be used as Quality Control checks and included in your QA/QC manual. In the DF Track handbook we talk about evaluating the sub-structure before you start, survey tips, developing a Plan of Attack, distributing material, the flow of work, equipment, manpower, in-house support, placing re-bar, formwork, the support system, placing concrete, patching air bubbles and the finish work. These handbooks are an excellent guide for a successful project and one that you will be proud.

Over 50,600 words, 370 pages, 125 photos and 90 graphics combined in the 8-Handbooks
