The cost of main-tenance should be considerably less than for the top-contacttype, since the contact surface is protected from snow or sleet,and the rail is less liable to corrosion: the board protectionhas a continuous support and is less apt to crack and warp;there is less strain on the insulators, as the pressure of theshoe acts against instead of with gravity.
