Moncure Robinson

Moncure Robinson (February 2, 1802- November 10, 1891) was an American civil engineer, railroad planner and builder and a railroad and steamboat owner,〔(Robinson, Moncure (1802-1891) ) at Swem Library Special Collections, The College of William & Mary Robinson. Accessed February 12, 2014. Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.〕 who is considered one of America's leading Antebellum period civil engineers. He was educated at the College of William and Mary and at the Sorbonne where he studied to be a civil engineer, and his most noted project was the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad.〔
Unlike many of the engineers of the early nineteenth century, Robinson did not receive his engineering education at West Point. He acquired his engineering education through self-directed study and the observation of engineering projects throughout the United States and Europe. Within nine years of the introduction of the first steam locomotive in the United States, he surveyed, supervised the construction, or was the consulting engineer for 721 miles of track, or one-third the entire railroad track built to that time. At the time of his death in 1891, over 163,000 miles of track spanned the country.〔
Along with well-known engineers Benjamin Henry Latrobe, II, John Edgar Thomson, and John B. Jervis, Moncure Robinson was in much demand during the late 1820s-40s and after, the transition period from America's Canal Era to the beginning of the Railway Age. By 1850, the basic technical aspects of the American railroad had been solved by this generation of engineers.
