$ DESCRIPTION:
$ iPOGO batch command file to compute B&O railroad H.O.T. points
$   as posted By Steve G on 9/1/2000 on rpls.com message board.
$ Computed by Stan Thompson, PLS 9/2/00.
$ All lines beginning with $ are comments.
$ ====================================================================
$ COMPUTING PROCEDURES:
$ 1) Assign beginning N,E to point 1
$ 2) Then compute points 2 thru 10 using
$      valuation map bearings and station distances.
$ 3) Compute spirals on new curve alignment 
$ 4) Plot the linework and print the stationing
$ ====================================================================
$CONCLUSIONS:
$ Per review of the following comps:
$ Using strictly val map data, the length of curve
$     is 0.1 foot short. 
$ The delta angle should be 2° 51' 07.7"
$     or the degree of curve (chd def) 
$     should be 0°44'59.29" 7641.501213
$ ====================================================================
$SPECIAL FORMULAS:
$ Given Ls=200, Dc=0.75, Total Delta=2°51'
$ 1) Radius of simple curve 
$      Rc = 50 / sin(Dc/2) = 7639.49181 feet
$ 2) total spiral delta
$      SD = (LS*Dc) / 200 = 0.75°
$ 3) length along original tangent to offset at end of spiral 
$       X = Ls - (Ls^3 / 40 * Rc^2) = 199.996573 feet
$ 4) perpendicular offset from original tangent to end of spiral
$       Y = Ls^2 / (6 * Rc) = 0.872658 feet
$ 5) throw distance from original curve to end of spiral
$       O = Y - (Rc * (1 - cos(SD))) = 0.21816 feet
$ 6) distance from OFFSET T.C. to T.S.
$      Xo = X - (Rc * Sin(SD)) = 99.998715 feet
$ 7) tangent length of original curve
$      Tc = Rc * Tan(TotalDelta/2) = 190.04054 feet
$ 8) tangent length from original PI to TS
$      Ts = Xo + Tc + (O * Tan(TotalDelta/2)) = 290.0447 feet
$ 9) tangent length from original TC to TS
$      TcTs = Xo + (O * Tan(TotalDelta/2)) = 100.0041 feet
$ 10) spiral chord length
$      Sc = (X^2 + Y^2)^0.5 = 199.998477 feet
$ 11) rate of change in radius
$       a = 100 * (Dc / Ls) = 0.375° per 100 feet
