ly invites the attention of Et1;;ineers, and Rail-
roatl.Companics, to some highly important in) prove-
inents he has recently made in the lslerron systetn of
Railway structure. These i tnprovements enable
him to etiect a very large reduction in the tpnnitity
of Timber, and costofconstruction, without impair-
ing the strength oi‘ the Track, or its powers ol'resist-
ing frost, while they secure additional features of
excellence in the Drainage and facility of making
lteprtirs. T . y

The above cut reprcs:cnts the “ Hcrron 'I‘rack” as
it3is'laid on the Philadelphia and Reading, and on
he Baltimore and Susquehanna ltailroztds. The
intersection of the sills otthc trellis are 5 feet from
centre to centre, while in the new construction they
are only 2}; feet. This renders the string piece un-
necessary, llll.lS removing the only objectionable fea-
ture found in the Track.

The resultot‘ experiencehas proved thatal_l_.-’I_‘i:acks
constructed, with longitudinal »ti’tnbe’rs,t~suel1-as"m'ud
sills, and more especially, the, continuous bearing
string pieces retain the rain water that falls between
the Rails,which, being thus confined, -settles along
those timbers, and accumulating in quantity flows
rapidly along them on the descending grades, wash-
ing out the earth from under the timber, and fre-
quently ('ill1Sll1g_lii,l‘g6 breaches in the embanlcments
of the road. Wl1et'eas all water intercepted by the
oblique sills of the trellis, is discharged immediately
into the side ditches.

in the 5 foot plan, the Track occupies a Road bed
nearly 1 1 feet wide,.while the, new construction takes
