Some of our Western railroads
have been using weed burners to
protect their tracks. One worked
over 900 miles of track last year
at a cost of $2.35 per mile. The
speed is very slow, being only li
miles an hour, and a "barrel of oil
is used for each mile. Compressed
air is forced through the oil, form
ing a vapor which is ignited. This
vapor is kept close to the track by
a shield over it. .The intense heat
burns the weeds between the
rails. . Once at work, the shield is
lowered within four inches of the
rail, and when not in use is raised
to eighteen inches above the rail.
