It isclaimed to be the only proven protectiveagent that permits of rigid paving con-struction and elastic track constructionadjacent to each other. The installation of steel paving guardspermits the satisfactory use of brokenstone or natural soil under the ties, thuseffecting a large saving of concrete. Italso allows the safe use of sheet asphaltor other bituminous surface over the en-tire railwiy area. The manufacturersestimate that its use in place of block. PRECAST CONCRETE R.\rLWAYCROSSING PROTECTED BY GOD-WIN COMPANY STEEL GUARDS liners nets a saving in cost of fromfour to forty-three cents for liners 8 to20 inches wide for single width and asaving of repairs of forty-four liners are equally suited for grovedor tee rails and are suitable for pre-castconcrete railway track when hard sur-face pavements are made adjacent to un-paved railw-ay tracks. The use of steelguards to protect the edges of the pave-ment is claimed to give lower initial costand greater protection without involvingany material cost for removal if the trackarea is subsequently paved.
