Its only obligation is to curbeach side of the right-of-way and pave street intersectionswhere they exist only when the paralleling or intersectingstreets are paved by the city. This private right-of-way innearly every instance is paralleled by boulevards on eitherside, thus insuring future development. That portion of thetrack on private right-of-way which parallels paved streets orboulevards has been ballasted and curbed. The portion inthe undeveloped sections of the city, however, has not yetbeen ballasted. The present standard for private right-of-way constructionconsists of 70-lb. A. S. C. E. rail in 33-ft. lengths laid on woodties spaced on 21-in. centers. A concrete curb is placed alone. Fig. 12—Oklahoma Track—Junction of Steel Tie Work andExperimental Creosoted Wood Cushion Track each side of the right-of-way adjoining the paving and in addi-tion thereto a 3-in. curb is placed 6 in. from the outside endof the ties. This inner curb is level with the rail and theouter curb 2 in. below the top of the rail, the intervening spacebeing parked. Before ballasting the roadbed is graded to slope II n is over 10. d Bracket to suit.
