| 520 | _a"The Water Supply of the El Paso and Southwestern Railway from Carrizozo to Santa Rosa, N. Mex." by J.L. Campbell is a technical publication that details the engineering efforts related to water supply systems for a specific railway in the early 20th century. Written during the progressive era, the book primarily focuses on the challenges and solutions of sourcing and transporting water in arid regions, particularly highlighting the innovative methods employed to ensure reliable water delivery to the railway’s operational needs. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the water supply issues faced by the El Paso and Southwestern Railway, particularly between Carrizozo and Santa Rosa. It discusses the quality of the original groundwater, which proved unsuitable for railway operations due to its incrusting solids and other detrimental effects. In response, Campbell details the successful sourcing of high-quality water from the South Fork of Bonito Creek, as well as the construction of an extensive pipeline system comprising wood and cast-iron pipes, reservoirs, and pumping plants. The text features technical specifications, costs, and system designs, alongside discussions that underscore the importance of engineering solutions in overcoming the geographical and environmental challenges of the American Southwest.
