Fig. 16—Oklahoma Track—Track-Handling Outfit and quantities of private right-of-way construction of thischaracter, excluding all special construction and line work, arepresented in Table III, on page 452. EXPERIMENTAL TRACK The half-tone Fig. 12 and the drawing Fig. 15 show thedetails of a piece of experimental track which is laid with disturbing the concrete foundation. The difference in theheight of rail is compensated for by varying the thickness ofthe creosoted wood cushioning strip. This construction re-quires about the same amount of concrete as that shown in thedrawing Fig. 1 and the cost per mile is about the same.
