Steel Ties For Railways.
Chicago, Dec. 10 A test Is being
made by the Lake Shore aud Michigan
Southern Road with s eel ties. The
company, like all other", is continually
replacing old steel rails with new. No
other practical use has been found for
'he old rails, and il has now been de
cided to try them for ties in place of
wood.
Under the proces the old rails a'e rc
rolled to flatten the heads. Several
mouths ago a number of these steel rail
were placed undej the track of the
Sandusky Div slon, and a careful exami
nation made last week with a gauge
showed that the steel ties had not
allowed the gauge of the track to change
a particle Bince they were laid. The
first three oak ties on each side were
also exact, while the fourth, fifth, and
sixth wooden lies had widened to a con
siderable extent
Tho Lake Shore people are pleased
with the result of the test, it is Bail!
that these ties can be much better
tamped than wooden ones and that with
steel ties tho track may be maintained
unore evenly. The average life of a
wo' den lie is six years. The Chlel
Eugineer of the Lake Shore says he sees
no reason why ties of steel should not
last twenty-five ydlirs before deterlor
atlng to an eiteul to necessitate renew
al.
