Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary and Practical Instructions on the Science of Railway Construction Their general principles may be regarded as the adaptation of mechanical contrivance for the diminution of friction in the ordinary appliances of locomotion, and a consequent reduction of time and space proportioned to the degree of perfection attained in the means employed. Of their origin, progress, and present position, it is admitted that the collieries first benefited by the use of wood and cast-iron tramways, to convey heavy loads for short distances, at a cost for traction which speedily attested its superiority over the common road. The soundness of the principle gradually induced its extension. Flat stone tramways and wrought-iron rails in endless variety of form underwent the test of examination and experiment, and after several years, and great, though perhaps unavoidable cost, the Railway system is firmly established upon a secure and solid base, with clear and defined general principles, and in course of rapid and universal extension.

Excerpt: ...on ballast, and 2,640 square feet of bearing of rails on timbers. The upper timber, when decayed, could be easily slipped out at the sides. The whole would afford much vertical stiffness, the bearing surface would be near the rail, and the structure would be elastic. There is another mode, in which T-iron ribs, 25 pounds per yard, take the place of the vertical planking. This makes equal to a 65-pound rail, with 3,150 cubic feet of timber per mile, with the bearings as above. Either variety of the sandwich system may be considerably simplified, if a superior quality of iron is insisted upon, by making the rail as nearly right angular under its head as it can be rolled, so as to prevent the necessity of dressing the timber to fit the shape, for instance. The groove for the flange may be very cheaply made by fitting a circular cutter in an ordinary wood planing machine and passing the timber through in the ordinary manner. It has been objected that this groove will fill with ice in winter, uponNorthern roads--because ice occasionally forms entirely across the road-bed between the rails, to a height which sometimes carries the wheels on their flanges and causes them to run off the line. Now, since the timbers would not necessarily touch each other within an inch or more, at their ends, any rain or snow water would run out of the groove. It is possible, however, that the groove might fill with sleet which would gradually turn to ice, and thus lift the flanges. This can be only settled by experiment. The timbers may be trimmed should this prove a serious objection. The last-named plan--raising the tread of the rail high enough to clear the flange--requires a little more weight of metal, but it most effectually prevents trouble from ice, and it...
