The free section islifted by hooking the lifting chain provided forthat purpose about midway of the boom, to thebridle chain on the rail section, and raising theboom. The machine then travels backward towardface of the cut, until the two rail sections tel-escope as far as they will, letting them lap about9 ft. The machine then travels awav fromface of the cut onto the section it just movedup, and leaves the railsection free on which ithad stood.
