Such a machine isthe American Railroad Ditcher, a machine whichexecutes perfect plans perfectly, cuts down largecrews and, by reducing the fallible human element,diminishes the possibility of mistakes and poor it no other track building equipment is required,for it is twenty machines in one, as a reading of thefollowing pages will show. Though admittedly this little book was compiledto exploit the American Railroad Ditcher, yet itwas written by practical men and embodies the re-sults of long experience. The methods describedhave proved money savers and should, therefore, com-mend themselves to all interested in the building ofrailroads and the efficient maintenance of right-of-way. Building a Railroad Introducing the AmericanRailroad Ditcher. Ijt^ Hand Crew Laying Track The American Rail-road Ditcher consistent-ly eliminates men and thelabor problem in every-thing it does. Insteadof the many foreignersor laborers, with mini-mum results for theworry and investment,there is One Americanwith maximum results. What Does This Mean in Railroad Building? First—Time is saved. With an AmericanDitcher on the job the work is done when it shouldbe done, without waiting for the contractor or any oneelse. Second — Money is saved. The contractors pro-fit is eliminated and forces are utilized that would lieinactive if the work were contracted. Third—Investment in an American Ditcher isalways a live one.
