I've come across numerous notes and articles about the Q's leadership in the
use of reinforced concrete, including bridge road beds,
culverts and coaling stations. There's a nice piece at
http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?u=1&num=515&seq=7&view=image&size=100&id=njp.32101048990152
regarding the construction of the Platte River bridge at Yutan and showing a
concrete mixer mounted on an FM-8 flat car.
