About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ...however, are handled by work train with a special gang. Where only one carload or a few scattering carloads are to be sent out it is convenient, of course, to use the local freight trains in any case. Good authorities are occasionally quoted on both sides of this question, one view being that distribution from local freight trains is the cheapest way to handle ties, while, on the contrary, the experience of some other man is that the same method is expensive and unsatisfactory. The varying conditions of traffic above noted undoubtedly account for the difference. As a general thing ties distributed from a work train are put off in better shape than from a way-freight. The crews of the latter rush the work too fast, either by urging the men or moving the train too fast for the men to properly unload the ties. An ordinary result of such haste is that ties are thrown down embankments, into bridge openings, or are so sparsely distributed that much time is lost in carrying them to place where renewals are made. On roads where ties are handled by way-freight it is quite customary to begin the distribution as early as January; this is for the obvious reason that only a few carloads can be distributed each day, and it is necessary to take a good deal of time in order to get over the division by spring. Again, on roads where the ties are received from outlying sources of supply it is frequently the case that the distribution begins late in the fall. so as to release the cars promptly and avoid piling the ties up in the yards. It is doubtful whether anything is gained in either case. In the first place, ties should not be unloaded and left lying on the ground through the winter, as in this position they gather moisture from the ground, are covered...
