It seems to me that railroad size and speed development temporarily outpaced the adequacy of the track, bridges, and safety measures in the pioneering era, which resulted in a bewildering variety and quantity of accidents and failures.  However, I would not attribute that to a deficiency in engineering ability.  In reading the Railroad Gazette from that period, I am struck by just how engineering-intense the railroad industry was in that otherwise seemingly primitive era.
